Tried running smartctl on a SATA drive, # smartctl -a /dev/sda smartctl version 5.33 [i386-redhat-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-4 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ Device: ATA Maxtor 7L300S0 Version: BANC SATA disks accessed via libata are not currently supported by smartmontools. When libata is given an ATA pass-thru ioctl() then an additional '-d libata' device type will be added to smartmontools. lspci says the following: 00:0b.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation nForce2 Serial ATA Controller (rev a3) It looks as if SATA access isn't supported yet? |

The error message is wrong. Try "smartctl -a /dev/sda -d ata". Assuming you are running a newer kernel. |

OK I found the name of the patch I used on 2.6.12.x and attached it here. You'd likly want to get the latest from the developer. Google for the patch name you'll find it.

Right. You need to patch your kernel with the new libata. I don't have the URL on me now. But smart google'ing will find it.
