Hello, I'm using smartmontools CVS head with a couple of SATA drives behind a Dell PERC 6/i (fw v.1.21, I think from dmesg). I get the following output when running the smartctl command: db-a~# /root/smartctl -a /dev/sg1 -d megaraid,1 smartctl 5.39 2009-05-03 13:39 [x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-9 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net Creating /dev/megaraid_sas_ioctl_node = 17 Got MegaRAID inquiry..

To continue, add one or more '-T permissive' options. I'm assuming that this is a controller limitation, and if I give '-T permissive', I still appear to be able to read the SMART counters, and error logs. If this is the case, I suppose it'd be nice if the smartctl command worked-around the restrictions that the controller card places on it? Thanks, Tim. |
