Only problem I've noticed is that smartctl on drives connected to sata_nv

Error SMART Status command failed
Please get assistance from http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/
Values from ATA status return descriptor are:
00 09 0c 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 50
A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more '-T permissive' options.
Yeah, we seem to have some problem with passing result TF to userland in
sata_nv (cc'ed Robert).
Thanks.
I've seen that report, but it's a bit of a mystery to me. Apparently the
problem still happens if ADMA is disabled, and in that mode we just use
the standard ata_tf_read function, so it's not clear how it could not be
working on that controller but work on others..
Also I haven't noticed any SMART problems on my machine with ADMA
enabled.. maybe it's drive or motherboard dependent?
