You can also use the '-d ata' switch to smartctl to get it to work with SATA devices. To wit:
[root@jaybird ~]# smartctl -H /dev/sda smartctl version 5.33 [i686-redhat-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-4 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ Request Sense failed, [Input/output error]
Now the same command with the '-d ata' switch:
[root@jaybird ~]# smartctl -H -d ata /dev/sda smartctl version 5.33 [i686-redhat-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-4 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED
I picked this up from a thread a while back on this list. Hope that helps! -- Jay Leafey - Memphis, TN jay.leafey@xxxxxxxxxxxx
