[Andreas U. <un...@ne...>]

Note (added 29 July 2004): starting with smartmontools (experimental) rel=
ease
5.33, one can also access SMART data from drives behind 3ware controllers
using the (character) devices /dev/twe0-15. This should work correctly ev=
en
with older versions of the 3w-xxxx driver. One can also access SMART data=
 from
drives behind 3ware 9000-series controllers (3w-9xxx driver) using the
(character) devices /dev/twa0-15.

When you use a newer 2.6 kernel, you would see some scsi-command-depcreca=
ted
warnings when you use the block devices (/dev/sd?). Then you should use t=
he
character devices (/dev/tw?).

regards,

Andreas
