Hi, I heard about the SMART support for Areca controllers so i tried it, but it didn't work for me. I get the following error message, but i have firmware version 1.47: smartctl 5.39 2009-09-04 r2902 [x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-9 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net The firmware of your Areca RAID controller appears to be outdated! Please update your controller to firmware version 1.46 or later. You may download it here: ftp://ftp.areca.com.tw/RaidCards/BIOS_Firmware Smartctl: Device Read Identity Failed (not an ATA/ATAPI device) A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more '-T permissive' options.

It sounds there is "ATA discs behind Areca" support only. The following message seems to confirm it: > Smartctl: Device Read Identity Failed (not an ATA/ATAPI device) You have SAS disks, isn't it ?

Hi, i tried every number that is permitted (/dev/sg2: Option -d areca,N (N=25) must have 1 <= N <= 24), but i got the same error.

Hi, after carefully reading the press release of Areca (http://www.areca.com.tw/news/2008/n091208.htm), it seems, the support is only for their SATA Controllers and NOT their SAS Controllers. Can anybody confirm or disprove this thesis?
