At this point I would probably spend a few bucks on a new enclosure (I have a bad ration of time to money), but since it invites you to specify the device type with -d, what results did you get when you provided the device type? A PATA drive is usually seen with either 'ata' or 'sat' device types, but if those fail you could try 'scsi' just for grins. I'm guessing that you will need a command line option at kernel boot time to make this work, I can't remember the details since I haven't used it in several years. You can force use of libata if you want, but you need to try some things and report the results, not just "didn't work" but some actual error messages. > > # smartctl --test=long /dev/sdc > smartctl 5.39 2009-12-09 r2995 [x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu] (local build) > Copyright (C) 2002-9 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net > > /dev/sdc: Unknown USB bridge [0x0c0b:0xb157 (0x000)] > Smartctl: please specify device type with the -d option. > > > The USB bridge ,unknown > I don't know what they are talking about, and using the -d option and > device type. > > -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen@xxxxxxx> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
