would you like to include SmartRAID support

[calestyo]

Hey.

Few months ago I've written an IMO proper exporter for SmartRAID controllers, which uses ssacli to do it’s job.

Originally my idea was to have that merged here, but then it got a bit bigger and I've also gave it an "exporter mode" (i.e. with a webserver listening).

Nevertheless, it can also be use in "textfile collector mode".

I do plan to keep the standalone repo and maintain it in there, but in case you'd want to include it in this repo (which would have the benefit of more people benefiting from having SmartRAID support more or less out of the box), we could do so (e.g. by subtree merging, or simply by importing new versions of it).

If you think it should stay separate, fine by me as well (in that case simply close the ticket).

Cheers,
Chris.

We can leave this issue open for a while to see if anybody registers interest, but AFAIK this hardware is nowhere near as common as the MegaRAID family of controllers.

If nobody is interested, there is little incentive for us to include it here, since it just becomes more dead code for the maintainers to ... maintain.

Uhm... it's what at least all HPE uses, and IIRC Lenovo, too... so I'd kinda doubt that they're less common, if not the opposite.

But anyway... I did not expect inclusion to be desired and it was just an offer - from my side we can also just close it.
