[smartmontools-support] 3ware 9750-16i4e issue

[Jay L. <dan...@gm...>]

Hi

I've a 3ware 9750-16i4e RAID card with below configuration.

OS: Debian wheezy
Kernel: 3.2.0-3-amd64
Smartmontools version: 5.41+svn3365-1

Raid configuration:
RAID1 - 2 x SATA disks
Single disk(no raid) - 8 x SAS disks


I'm getting errors like below:
