Oh my -- I just spent quite a lot of time trying to figure out why setting
-F was turning on -v 195,raw8.

Please try the latest version from CVS.  Use -F samsung2, and
attach the output of the following three commands as separate email text

smartctl -a -r ioctl,2 /dev/hda
smartctl -a /dev/hda
smartctl -a -F samsung2 /dev/hda
