Hi, I wondered whether you would consider adding support for the ATA security commands to smartctl? Currently, these are available for disks directly connected to PATA or SATA controllers via the "hdparm" utility. However, I'd like to be able to use them through a jmicronusb controller. I think that smartctl already has support for ATA passthrough on the jmicronusb controller because commands such as this works: "# smartctl /dev/sdb -l xerror -d usbjmicron,x smartctl 5.39 2009-11-30 r2990 [i386-redhat-linux-gnu] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-9 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === General Purpose Logging (GPL) feature set supported SMART Extended Comprehensive Error Log Version: 1 (1 sectors) No Errors Logged" Would this be something you might be interested in implementing and/or is it something that I might easily be able to put together? With best wishes, Chris. |
