Inquiry about new drivenb in smartmontools (smartctl)

[ksj0312]

Hi
Thank you for registering the recently requested Sk hynix's product on drivenb.

By the way, in order to apply new drivenb to smartctl, it is necessary to replace the drivenb.h file directly. For this reason, customers who use our products say that it is inconvenient to use smartctl.

Is there a way to download it to smartmontools with the latest drivenb??
If that's not possible, I wonder when the plan is to deploy smartmontools of version 7.5

There is not need to replace it directly. Use the updata-smart-drivedb tool instead, see: Update the drive database and the related manual page​.
Your customer support department should be able to explain to your customers how this works.

CI builds are available here ​https://builds.smartmontools.org/

If that's not possible, I wonder when the plan is to deploy smartmontools of version 7.5

It will possibly be released until the end of this year.
