Hi there, I suspect that the harddrive in my new Thinkpad T61p (dmesg below) is failing, so I tried to examine its SMART statistics. I encountered two problems. I'm using OpenBSD 4.2-RELEASE (amd64).
The first problem was that I couldn't get atactl to work. The command: # atactl sd0c smartstatus results in: atactl: ATAIOCCOMMAND failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device I searched for this error message on Google and the archives of this list, but couldn't find anyting appropriate. Does atactl fail because the disk is a SATA disk behind an ahci controller, thus appearing as a SCSI-disk? Or am I overlooking something? After that, I installed smartctl from packages. This failed too, but in a bigger way. This is what happened: # smartctl -a /dev/sd0c smartctl version 5.33 [x86_64-unknown-openbsd4.2] Copyright (C) 2002-4 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ Device: ATA ST910021AS Version: 4.06 sd0( The last line (starting with sd0) was printed by the kernel. I didn't get a prompt back, instead the machine just resetted after some seconds. No panic, no ddb, it just resetted. (All sysctl settings were default, so ddb.panic was 1) Invoking smartctl with the -d ata option resulted in a similar message atactl gave: "Inappropriate ioctl for device". What can I do to diagnose and/or (help) fix this?
