Well it might be worth looking on the smartmontools site to see if ther's a -d option that'll work with your bridge. It might even be listed. > > Use smartctl -h to get a usage summary > > ARGH!!!

It has been in constant use for 3 years: It's not the drive. It's most likely the USB>SATA bridge chipset. Those were pretty much junk 4+ years ago when it came to passing through the full ATA command set, including things like SMART commands, and SCT. > > 1TB Porsche Design P'9230 External Hard Drive - SuperSpeed USB 3.0 > > Can get a replacement now for 1/2 the price.

I just bought super cheapy PUREX enclosures for some laptop drives for $6 each. They're USB 3.0, and smartctl -x returns everything including PHY events, and smartctl -l scterc also works (and is nearly mandatory for any kind of RAID, the alternative being changing the linux SCSI command timer). -- Chris Murphy -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
