[smartmontools-support] USB bridge [0x04fc:0x0c15 (0xf615)] working in CVS but not recognized

[Jörg S <eljoest@go...>]

Hi,

I own an external USB/eSATA that is not recognized by smartmontools
from CVS (co today) in USB mode. It is listed as
> Bus 004 Device 005: ID 04fc:0c15 Sunplus Technology Co., Ltd

Simply calling smartctl creates an error:
> /dev/sdc: Unknown USB bridge [0x04fc:0x0c15 (0xf615)]

Calling smartctl with "-d usbsunplus" seems works without problem. I
have not found any problems with the -a and -t operations. I guess
it's safe to say it works?

Regards,
Joerg

Thanks for the feedback.

Could you please provide the product name of the USB/eSATA device? Then 
we can add it to
http://smartmontools.wiki.sourceforge.net/overview_USB-Support

USB ID added, should work without '-d usbsunplus' now.

Yes. Do 48-bit ATA commands like '-l xselftest', '-l scttemp' or '-l 
sataphy' also work?

It's an ICY BOX, but I'm unable to provide the exact product name.
According to features (USB + eSATA) and images it should be the
IB-351StUS2-B.

Yes, although -l xselftest does not show more data than -l selftest.
