Thanks for pointing me to bioctl - I was unaware about that - but I don't offhand see how I could eg. collect SMART status on the drives hanging off such a card.
IIRC, you cannot collect the SMART status on individual drives. Personally, I don't really mind as I'm not a big fan of SMART. Having seen drives that showed no issues in SMART, right up to the point of dying, is bound to change one's perspective.
Since the machines may very well be not in reach, I don't fancy beeping or blinking drive enclosures. I need log entries instead.
The logical disk status on ami(4) devices can also be polled through sensorsd(8). Perhaps I should also have mentioned that bit. If you want individual drive statistics, I suppose you would want to parse bioctl(8) output. I also recommend you take a quick look at sensorsd.conf(5). The above works for me, but of course your requirements may be different. Cheers, Rogier -- If you don't know where you're going, any road will get you there.
