S.M.A.R.T.: Can I tell PVE somehow to use 'smart -d sat' for my external drive?

[gctwnl]

The PVE GUI returns S.M.A.R.T. status unknown on my external disk. This mirrors what smartctl tells me on the command line

root@pve:~# smartctl -a /dev/sda
smartctl 7.2 2020-12-30 r5155 [x86_64-linux-5.15.60-1-pve] (local build)

/dev/sda: Unknown USB bridge [0x1e91:0xa3a5 (0x100)]
Please specify device type with the -d option.

But on the command line, I can get the info by explicitly telling smartctl what type of bridge it is with -d:

root@pve:~# smartctl -a -d sat /dev/sda

So, might this info enable me to get SMART status visible in the PVE GUI? If so, how?

Looking at the source code, I'm afraid this is not possible at the moment.

Form looking at the code that calls smartctl [1] it doesn't support adding parameters to it. You could create a feature request on https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/
