S.M.A.R.T. Monitoring Tools

Hi,

I noticed that the output of commands like e.g.

	1) smartctl -c
	2) smartctl -A
	3) smartctl -l selftest

looks fairly different for IDE and SCSI drives.

I expected that e.g. (1) would give me all the infos of the SMART capabilities 
of my SCSI drive as well as the status of a running offline self-test, which 
is not the case.

I thought that (2) would look comparable for IDE and SCSI, but the SCSI drives 
I use do not show up with the typical table of various attributes I was used 
from my ide drives.

In case (3) there is a slightly different layout of the outputted table.

Does it only mean that there is a different code responsible for that output 
and yet simply doesn't have the same functionality like in case of IDE 
drives?

About the only thing=20 that is the same is the name.
