I get an unknown bridge error when running smartctl.   gsmartcontrol fails this 
way:
dt1:sudo gsmartcontrol

is not root!

  what():  basic_string::substr

The odd thing is I'm pretty sure I ran smartctl several years ago and it 
worked.  
A hardware problem is a possibility, but I have 2 of these drives and seeing 
similar issues which cropped up after a switch from fedora to xubuntu.   I got 
one drive working by plugging it into a mac and formatting as fat32.  I'll try 
that later.
