RE: Capturing ATA devices serial numbers

2008-07-08 Thread Vaughn Clinton
Okay - I've tried this against two devices in the system.  The devices
queried are report as ad0 and ad2.  When using the following command against
either device I get the following response: 

usage: atacontrol command channel [args]

Now, it must be noted that I am using a ccd device that's has both these
devices configured as member of the ccd configuration.  I'm pretty sure that
this should not interfere with the query but, I thought I would let you
know.

Any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Assuming you mean a hard disk, if you can run smartmontools, this is
from smartctl(8):

   -i, --info
  Prints the device model number, serial number, firmware version,
  and  ATA  Standard  version/revision  information.   Says if the
  device supports SMART, and if so, whether SMART support is  cur-
  rently  enabled  or  disabled.   If  the device supports Logical
  Block Address mode (LBA mode) print current user drive  capacity
  in bytes. (If drive is has a user protected area reserved, or is
  clipped, this may be smaller than the potential maximum  drive
  capacity.)  Indicates if the drive is in the smartmontools data-
  base (see '-v' options below).  If so, the  drive  model  family
  may also be printed. If '-n' (see below) is specified, the power
  mode of the drive is printed.

Full man page is here:
http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/man/smartctl.8.html

Port is here:
/usr/ports/sysutils/smartmontools
