Dear Fonz

Please can you upgrade the smartmontools package for FFP to 5.40 ?

There seems to be several improvements and I'm hoping it might resolve an issue I have monitoring drives over a USB interface, specifically in Linux. I'm not sure if the changes are going to pose problems for you?

Many thanks in advance.
