Re: [smartmontools-support]Problem with enabling automatic offline data collection

[SAWADA K. <car...@us...>]

AUTO_OFFLINE feature uses irregular form of direction, it is
possible that other platform has same problem.

Eduard,

In ata_command_interface() of os_freebsd.c, do we need to set value of
"select" to iocmd.u.request.u.ata.count instead of
iocmd.u.request.u.ata.lba?  If my recognition is correct, sector count
register should hold 248 (enable AUTO_OFFLINE) or 0 (disable
AUTO_OFFLINE), and escalade_command_interface() do this correctly.
