Re: [smartmontools-support] PIO error when checking SATA disks

[Reiner B. <re...@bu...>]

Hi Bruce,

thanks for the reply. -d sat did result in an error - seems my
smartd does not know about this device type (yet). But after
removing '-o on' and '-S on' the PIO errors are gone. Thanks
for the help!!

Best regards,
Reiner
