I checked them, sure. to me it seems that there are 2 sg-devices created per port or so. One as ICP-device: does not tell me serials or so, but has an sd-device mapped to it according to sg_map # smartctl -d auto -i /dev/sg2 smartctl 6.4 2015-06-04 r4109 [x86_64-linux-3.18.11-gentoo-smp] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-15, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Vendor: ICP Product: SAS1 Revision: V1.0 User Capacity: 73,284,976,640 bytes [73.2 GB] Logical block size: 512 bytes scsiModePageOffset: response length too short, resp_len=4 offset=4 bd_len=0 scsiModePageOffset: response length too short, resp_len=4 offset=4 bd_len=0 >> Terminate command early due to bad response to IEC mode page A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting.
