Fixes!!! Refactors!!! Edits!!! + +Bugs: +1. Big bug, 3.2 appears to have introduced this bug, for disks, rotation and +partition scheme would never show, oops. + +2. Tiny bug kept one specific smart value from ever showing, typo. + +Fixes: +1. Accidentally followed Arch linux derived distro page, which claims KaOS as +arch derived, when of course it's not, it's its own distro, own toolchain, etc. +I kind of knew this but had forgotten, then I believed the Arch derived distro +page, oh well. Resulted in KaOS being listed with arch linux as system base +with -Sx. Arch should fix this, it's not like it's hard, just remove the distro +from the page. + +2. Cleared up explanations for drivetemp vs hddtemp use, updated --recommends, +man, and help to hopefully make this clear. Debian will be dropping hddtemp, +which is not maintained, sometime in the coming years, sooner than later. +Note that users unfortunately have to manually enable drivetemp module unless +their distros enable it by default, but the man/recommands/help explain that. + +3. Fixed smart indentation issues, that went along with code change 1, was +failing to indent one further level for failed/age values like it's supposed +to. + +Enhancements: +1. Added /proc/device to debugger, that will help track block device main numbers + +2. More disk vendors, more disk vendor IDs!!! As noted, the enternal flow flows +eternally, thanks linux-lite hardware database users!! and other inxi users, +whose outputs sometimes reveal a failure or two. + +3. Added loaded kernel module tests to --recommends, this was mostly to let users +know that drivetemp is needed if you want non superuser fast drive temps, and +that this came along with kernels 5.6 or newer. Hopefully word will start drifting +out. Note that if inxi is using drivetemp values, drive temps will appear as +regular user with -Dx, and will be to 1 decimal place. hddtemp temps are +integers, and requires sudo to display the temps. + +4. To handle issue #239 which I'd thought of trying off and on, but never did, +added option to -Dxxx to show SSD if a positive SSD ID was made to rotation: +So rotation will show either nothing, if no rotation or ssd data is detected, +the disk speed in rpm, or SSD if an SSD device. There may be corner cases where +this is wrong, but I don't have data for that, for example, if a disk is parked +and has zero rotation but is a HDD, not as SSD. I don't know what the data +looksl ike in that case. Note that if sudo inxi -Da is used, and smartctl is +installed, it should be right almost all the time, and with regular -Dxxx, it's +going to be right almost always, with a few corner cases. That slight +uncertainty is why I never implemented this before. Legacy drives also sometimes +did not report rotation speeds even when HDD, so those may create issues, +but inxi will only call it an SSD if it's an nvme, mmcblk device, both are +easy to ID as SSD, or if it meets certain conditions. It will not call a drive +an SSD if it was unable to meet those conditions. + +INTERNAL CODE CHANGES: +1. Refactored the output logic for DiskData, that was messy, split it into a few +subs, and also refactored the way smartctl data was loaded and used, that's +much cleaner and easier to use now. Split the previous 1 big sub into: +totals_output(), drives_output(), and smart_output(). +Also split out the smart field arrays into a separate sub, which loads +references to avoid creating new arrays and copying them all over when outputting +smart data. References are weird to work with directly but they are MUCH faster +to use, so I'm moving as much of the internal logic to use array raferences +instead of dereferenced arrays/hashes assigned to a new array, or hash. + +2. Redid all the output modules and renamed them to be more consistent and +predictable, and redid the logic here and there to make the get() items be fairly +similar on all the data builder packages. Now as with the data subs, which +generally end in _data, now most of the output subs end with _output. + +3. Roughly finished the process started in 3.2, got rid of redundant array loads, +changed: +@something = something_data(); +push (@rows,@something); +to: +push (@rows,something_data()); +which avoids creating an extra array, this also let me remove many arrays overall. + +4. Missed a few hashes in machine data that were being passed directly, not as +references, to other subs, corrected that. I think I missed those because they +were %, so the search I did for @ in sub arg lists didn't catch the % hashes. + +----------------------------------- +-- Harald Hope - Mon, 08 Feb 2021 16:16:27 -0800 + +===================================================================================== Version: 3.3.00 Patch: 00 Date: 2021-01-28 |
