Issue with `watchdog-mux` trying to set timeout to 10 seconds

[ikus060]

Hello,

I have a `nct7904 watchdog` on my system. According to Linux kernel documentation (https://github.com/torvalds/linux/b...f1e1b4fe19c90046/drivers/hwmon/nct7904.c#L116) this watchdog doesn'T support a timout value of 10 seconds.

Because of this, it's not possible for Proxmox watchdog-mux to change the value and start.

What would be the best solution to work arround this problem ?

Is it possible to load the `nct7904` module and still use a software watchdog ?

Otherwise, I'm proposing to change the implementation of ` watchdog-mux` to look at the min_timeout value and consider this value before updating it...

and still use a software watchdog

Maybe I don't understand the problem, but if you deactivate your hw watchdog in the bios, you will use the softdog automatically.

I end up blacklisting the module completely nct7904
