Howdy,
I recently tried to get smartmontools up and running on an x86 Solaris
10 host, and bumped into the issue outlined in this thread:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=36322531
Is there a reason the x86 and X64 cmdk driver doesn't support the same
ioctls that are available in the SPARC driver?
No (other than the obvious "the code isn't there to do it".)
What would be
required to unify the drivers so the ioctls are available on x86
and X64 platforms?
More work than is worth it. However, adding the ioctls to the x86 driver
should be nearly-trivially easy.
