is there any user-land option for S.M.A.R.T hard disk support other

One wonders how difficult it would be to take a different route
and extend atacontrol and camcontrol to improve S.M.A.R.T.

This seems to be the NetBSD approach with their "atactl".

Maybe this could be used in DragonFly's atacontrol (or similar) if the
data structures/devices aren't too different?
Looks like it has the needed tools.

- Off to a meeting, but will review it tomorrow...
I have Net2 here to test both.
Thanks,
