Are you compiling that yourself or pulling it from one of the third party
repos? Seems like that might be something worth having in the official
repository like ipmitool? I believe it also works with SAS drives, not just
SATA drives. I definitely wouldn't have minded finding out my drive was in a
death spiral before it wedged the controller and took out the pool :(.
