 Posted: Fri Nov 05, 2004 4:23 pm Post subject: SMART & hdparm problems on sata |
 |
|
Hi all!
I've not clear enough a point...
sda is my sata drive... look:
| Code: |
darkstar lavish # hdparm -I /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Operation not supported
|
| Code: | darkstar lavish # hddtemp /dev/sda
/dev/sda: ATA Maxtor 6Y080M0 : /dev/sda: ATA Maxtor 6Y080M0 : S.M.A.R.T. not available
|
Can anyone tell me why and how (if possible) fix this problem?
However, everything is working fine to me, and both hdparm -I /dev/hda and hddtemp /dev/hda have a correct output
Thanks in advance

| because SATA works via the SCSI interface in the kernel (devicename: /dev/sd*) you are unable to hdparm a SATA+drive, or so I was told |

This is the message I got from smartctl when I tried it with my sata disks:
-----------
smartctl version 5.33 [x86_64-pc-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-4 Bruce Allen
Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/
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 suspect that we'll have to wait until (if) libata gets support for this stuff. |

If you need to test devices then hdparm -tT /dev/sdX is still useful (even if it ends up with a "HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(null) (wait for flush complete) failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device").
Maybe what you need is sdparm: http://sg.torque.net/sg/sdparm.html. |

| sdparm wont show anything, cause sata are not completely scsi , you just need latest libata patches. Check the nitro thread in "unsupportet software" forum , I saw someone talking about that there. |
