I don't think there's anything in the default system that does this, but maybe you did something or had something installed which does it? |

Thomas, This is strange -- you have enabled SMART but it doesn't appear to remain enabled. I am writing this from an Intel Mac (10.4.10) and smartmontools works OK on it. I am clueless...

Bruce- I have had reports of this from my users here and there- its always on the newest Macs. I've never experienced it on any of the Macs I've worked on, but from emailing the users it seems that manually turning SMART on with "-s on" then rerunning smartctl returns the correct data. I'm not sure why this is. System Profiler and Disk Utility both return SMART supported. That may be because they are using OS X specific calls. -Matt On Oct 10, 2007, at 16:08 , Bruce Allen wrote: > Thomas, > > This is strange -- you have enabled SMART but it doesn't appear to > remain > enabled.

Hi Alison, We need some 'inside support' for this one. Users are reporting that smartctl reports that SMART is turned off. When they try to turn it on with 'smartctl -s on' it doesn't work. Here is the thread: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.utilities.smartmontools/4873 Can you help to sort this out? Cheers, Bruce |
