[SOLVED] smartctl version 7.4

Version 7.4 of the smartmontools are still not in the stable bookworm repo. You would have to add bookworm-backports repo to get that package...

Version upgrades on the stable repo only happen when stable is upgraded to the next version. Debian back-ports fixes rather than updating the package because that might break configuration files and such. So not until trixie is released will the packages be updated.

Hi,

@fiona:
Small question that is not explicitly regarding the topic and also for no specific reason, but I don't want to open an extra thread for it:
Is it planned to update the smartmontools in the Proxmox repositories to 7.3 [1] in the foreseeable future?
As I said, no specific reason (at least for me); only curious. :D

would updating the drivedb.h be enough for you (see this bugzilla entry for more information)? Or do you need some other new feature? If it's the latter, feel free...

The version installed on my server is 7.3-pve1 which means its a Proxmox maintained version, not from Debian repos. The version on pvetest is 7.3 as well.
Does the debian version 7.4 fully work on proxmox and can it be installed alongside or over the pve version?
If yes, what is the reason for why Proxmox has its own smartmontools package?
Regardless, i think Proxmox should at least update their package to 7.4-pve1 for the pvetest repo

Is there a possibility that smartctl will be updated to v7.4?

Due to the fact that used Seagate hard disks are sold as new, it would be useful if the current version of smartctl is also available on Proxmox, which is able to read the FARM values.
