Package: smartmontools Version: 5.38-2 Severity: normal
To get support for 64bit KVM guests I switch from the i686 kernel (linux-image-2.6.26-1-686) to amd64 (linux-image-2.6.26-1-amd64). The machine has a 3ware controller which smartmontools is capable of checking its attached disks. After I rebooted and the amd64 kernel came up, smartd refuses to work. dmesg shows that the kernel logs out some messages then: [132307.686213] ioctl32(smartd:23945): Unknown cmd fd(3) cmd(00000108){t:01;sz:0} arg(ffc29c5c) on /dev/twa0 [136015.740193] ioctl32(smartd:27292): Unknown cmd fd(3) cmd(00000108){t:01;sz:0} arg(ff94b10c) on /dev/twa0 [139733.432548] ioctl32(smartd:29680): Unknown cmd fd(3) cmd(00000108){t:01;sz:0} arg(ffff4fbc) on /dev/twa0 [143430.429019] ioctl32(smartd:1066): Unknown cmd fd(3) cmd(00000108){t:01;sz:0} arg(ffbceb8c) on /dev/twa0 [172513.471587] ioctl32(smartd:20721): Unknown cmd fd(3) cmd(00000108){t:01;sz:0} arg(ff7f9fbc) on /dev/twa0 [176182.578514] ioctl32(smartd:23674): Unknown cmd fd(3) cmd(00000108){t:01;sz:0} arg(ffa241ec) on /dev/twa0 If I give smartctl a try, it fails too u...@cdserver:~$ sudo smartctl -a -d 3ware,0 -a /dev/twa0 smartctl version 5.38 [i686-pc-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-8 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ WARNING - NO DEVICE FOUND ON 3WARE CONTROLLER (disk 0) Note: /dev/sdX many need to be replaced with /dev/tweN or /dev/twaN Smartctl: Device Read Identity Failed (not an ATA/ATAPI device) And causes the same log messages: u...@cdserver:~$ dmesg |grep smartctl [212209.819155] ioctl32(smartctl:13265): Unknown cmd fd(3) cmd(00000108){t:01;sz:0} arg(ffaec31c) on /dev/twa0 -- Package-specific info: Ouput of /usr/share/bug/smartmontools: # CONFIG_IDE_TASK_IOCTL is not set -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages smartmontools depends on: ii debianutils 2.30 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.3.2-1.1 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.3.2-1.1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii lsb-base 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip Versions of packages smartmontools recommends: ii bsd-mailx [mailx] 8.1.2-0.20071201cvs-3 A simple mail user agent ii mailx 1:20071201-3 Transitional package for mailx ren smartmontools suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
