I just added a couple weeks ago 2 SATA disks to 9.3. I only added /dev/sda -d ata /dev/sdb -d ata
to my smartd.conf, restarted the daemon, and it worked, i.e. Dec 12 01:12:12 server smartd[22028]: Device: /dev/sda, SMART Prefailure Attribute: 1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate changed from 101 to 108 Dec 12 01:12:12 server smartd[22028]: Device: /dev/sdb, SMART Prefailure Attribute: 1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate changed from 112 to 113 > Thus, I don't see how I can make it work with smartmontools from the > distribution. > > Am I doing something wrong here? I'm not sure. Maybe I see now. Dec 13 22:30:18 server smartd[9016]: Configuration file /etc/smartd.conf parsed.

But when I try your command, server:/home/joe # smartctl -i /dev/sda smartctl version 5.33 [i686-pc-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-4 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ Device: ATA ST3320620AS Version: 3.AA 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. So I guess it is not fully functional. I do remember reading something about smartmontools and SATA in the 10.2 release notes. So I guess it is maybe only partially working with SATA in 9.3. Not real sure, and since I plan on updating the server to 10.2 in the near future, I won't worry too much about it. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
