Today, I'm grateful that #FreeBSD landed a SMART client in base. This is going to be incredibly useful.

@lattera OOOOOH do tell! diskutil and geom disk were already useful, but having some SMARTs is nice.

@mWare @lattera The original proposed name was “diskctl(8)”, inspired by OpenBSD’s in-base utility.
