aacraid driver is not the emulation. The Firmware itself has a SAT 0.9
translation layer to the raw SATA drives at the physical transport,
the Firmware then deals with all the targets as SCSI representations.
SMART was supposed to be emulated, but on that old card it was never
tested ... make sure you have the latest Firmware on the card just in
case something got fixed ...

Hello list,
I have an old Adaptec 2610SA SATA RAID controller with six disks. As
I'm a bit curious, I'd like to know, for example, the temperature
they report. (afacli can't report those, and I suspect aaccli can't
either) It seemed utterly impossible until I saw the
expose_physicals module option, but after switching that on, I can
at least see traces of the individual disks.
If I understand it correctly, aacraid provides an emulation layer
between what I see and the physical disks, passing known commands
and responses back and forth. However, S.M.A.R.T commands doesn't
seem to be among those known ones, is that correct?
I'm running CentOS 5 with kernel 2.6.18, which is kind of old. Would
running a spanking new kernel make me happier and support reading
the temperature from the individual disks?
Regards,
/Sam
