Does SMART work for your SATA drives? Without SMART support I don't really want to get any more SATA drives. Mine reports this:
The feature should come some day. This is quite vital for RAID arrays... Meanwhile, get the same error as you : -------------------- SATA disks accessed via libata are not currently supported by smartmontools. When libata is given an ATA pass-thru ioctl() then an additional '-d libata' device type will be added to smartmontools. smartmontools release 5.33 dated 2004/09/10 at 04:11:35 UTC smartmontools build host: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu smartmontools build configured: 2005/12/11 13:39:15 UTC smartctl compile dated Dec 11 2005 at 14:39:26 2.6.15-gentoo - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
