The command 'smartctl -a /dev/sdb' fails with 2.6.22-rc4 kernel. The disk /dev/sdb is a SATA disk. The command does work still with a real SCSI disk.

Last time I checked, one must supply the "-d ata" parameter to smartctl
for it to work with libata drives.  Has this changed?

Wow, apparently it has, I just tried it here:

p34:~# smartctl -a /dev/sda | head -n 5
smartctl version 5.37 [x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-6 Bruce Allen
Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/

Normally you always had to use the -d ata parameter.

Justin.
