Hi,
Do lm_sensors/gkrellm provide for hard drives? I do know that my hard drives have temperature sensors, but they escape detection by sensors-detect. Is there a way to manage these sensors?

I believe HDD temps can only be read by smartmontools, but I could be wrong.

If I understand correctly your problem you could try hddtemp to detect hard disk temperature. It works with gkrellm.
Afeter installation (it's in community) launch the demon (with root):
hddtemp -d /dev/<yourdevice>
and then:
hddtemp /dev/<yourdevice>

Thanks!
CLI (hddtemp) works, shure enough. I can't figure out how to tell gkrellm about the new sensors, though .
...
gkrellm-hddtemp plugin from AUR is the solution. hddtemp daemon lives in rc.conf ( DAEMONS=(...) ), as usual.
...
First impressions: gkrellm-hddtemp plugin is better than nothing but still very beta. Probably dead or moribund, too.

I tried conky . Nice and infinitely configurable, but a world unto itself. Takes a lot of learning...
