It is still unclear to me if it is acceptable or not that a simple bug in a software like hddtemp can cause the kernel to segfault, especially not while it occurs since a video card change.If the kernel segfaults, its a kernel bug.Aurelien, could you elaborate a little on what the fix for #335571 was, it seems that whatever kernel code that is tickling wants fixing.
Well, it was more a workaround than a fix. The solution I found is to not probe packet device drives, as we already know they don't have a temperature sensor. That also fixed a bug where some drives were going in a bad state when receiving the command, creating a SeekComplete Error message in the kernel logs.
