Display HDD temperature in web interface

Hi,

I think it's nice to be able to see the HDD temperature in the web portal and started digging around. I found out that you already have the functionallity but it doesn't seem to be used anywhere (navigate to http://b3.local/admin/stat/info to get the JSON data). Hence I decided to hack it in myself.

I've attached the patch incase anyone else is interested in seeing it as well. Just make sure you have hddtemp installed (apt-get install hddtemp).

Transfer the patch to your bubba and ssh in, now as root:

cd /usr/share/web-admin/
patch --verbose -p0 < /path/to/gui_hdd.patch

gui_hdd.patch (I'm not allow to upload it as an attachment, make sure there is no trailing empty line):
