I am trying to use smartmontools on a new Intel mac (specifically the MacBook Pro) and having some difficulty. I have heard that these new laptops use a different partition scheme (GUID) from previous macs. I did not build from source but rather used a package installer i found online. I am getting the same error whether I run on an internal disk or external. I've heard that Apple doesn't support SMART over firewire for external disks but only on the internal drive. But maybe not on the new MacBooks?? Or maybe it is just something silly like my syntax. Any ideas are appreciated.
