Re: [smartmontools-support] Hitachi disks SMART offline test command returns error

[Bruce A. <ba...@gr...>]

Hi Adam,

Any thoughts about this?  New bug report below, old bug report is here:
http://osdir.com/ml/utilities.smartmontools/2005-06/msg00016.html

Looks like a specific drive + 3ware 9500 controller tickles this bug.

Cheers,
 	Bruce
