https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215311 Bug ID: 215311 Summary: Support ATA command passthrough for iSCSI -> SATA Product: IO/Storage Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: 5.10.x Hardware: All OS: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P1 Component: SCSI Assignee: linux-scsi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: nfxjfg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Regression: No This would be a nice feature for using smartctl over iSCSI (where the target is a SATA disk). So far, this seems to be needed in the iSCSI target implementation or another part of the target's SCSI layer or SATA glue code. I can actually send ATA passthrough commands (0x85) from a Linux initiator, just the target rejects them as invalid or unknown. Hints which subsystem or even source file would handle this would be nice too, maybe I could attempt a patch (though somewhat unlikely I would succeed). Does iSCSI+SATA really work by translating SCSI commands to ATA commands? Crazy world if that's correct. -- You may reply to this email to add a comment.
