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.
Does anyone inside Sun have plans to do this? If not, I would be
interested in tackling this.
I don't know of a project to do it yet. I'm sure you'd have a lot of
grateful users if you took it on.
