Re: [smartmontools-support]ATA_CMD_READ_REG for FreeBSD ???

[Eduard M. <mar...@ro...>]

Matt,
That code has changed in the current CVS version of smartmontools (and
in the last experimental release, 5.33).  Soren did make a change to the
kernel, but rather than using my patch, he modified the code so that any
ATA CONTROL command would result in a read of the registers (and return
back to the caller).

In other words, the code you are looking at is out of date.  The PORT
for FreeBSD should be updated with the next stable release.
