$ sudo smartctl -d atacam -i /dev/ada11 smartctl 5.39.1 2010-01-28 r3054 [FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE amd64] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-10 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Model Family: Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 family Device Model: ST31500341AS ... Also, out of curiosity, are you using the ahci(4) driver or the siis(4) driver? Thank you - fantastic! I tried the -d atacam before I sent the email, but I obviously specified it incorrectly because I wrote the message anyway. This solves the issue, not sure why it can't detect it. To answer your follow up question, I started using just siis, but added ahci to allow ahci functions. As far as I can tell, AHCI functions add on top of the SIIS ones. The boot compact flash (not on the SIIS card) converted to ada from ad once ahci was loaded.
