Add temperature limits to nwipe log #453

Closed PartialVolume closed 1 year ago

PartialVolume commented 1 year ago
  1. For each drive we now show the following temperature limits that are obtained directly from the drive. These are shown in the log under the INFO category. For a given drive all it's limits are shown on a single line near the start of the log. Whether all these values contain data will vary between manufacturer, for instance the Seagate SN570 only shows the high critical value of 84 deg.C

High critical - Exceeding this value can damage and/or reduce the life of the drive.

Highest - This is the maximum continuous running temperature allowed. This statement looks like it may be incorrect, this may be the highest temperature recorded by the drive since the last power cycle.

Lowest - This is the minimum continuous running temperature allowed. This statement looks like it may be incorrect, this may be the lowest temperature recorded by the drive since the last power cycle.

Low critical - Dropping below this temperature may cause failure.

  1. Changed some wording in the GUI for a on screen message to do with HPA/DCO.

Example of the drive temperature limits that now appear in the log.
