Hi, the smartmontools TODO file lists that a "-d libata" or "-d sata" switch will be added when the SMART command passthru interface is added to the Linux libata drivers. It looks like linux-2.6.15-rc1 now contains this functionality. Any news on the smartmontools side? Thanks, Bernd. |

Bernd, Please try: smartctl -d ata -a /dev/sda and report the results to the mailing list. Note that you may need to change /dev/sda to reflect the correct device.

Thanks Bruce. This now works indeed. My tests were done on Fedora Core 5 Test1 running kernel-2.6.14-1.1696_FC5. This kernel contains patch-2.6.15-rc1. I always thought that I have to pass the options "-d libata" or "-d sata" according to the output of smartctl and the TODO file in the smartmontools-5.33 distribution. But "-d ata" works. So I think the files should be updated to reflect to correct options. Best regards, Bernd. |
