Bug#366471: smartmontools: sata support?
In my workplace the hard drive where my root is gives the following
error when i try to start smartd:
hdb: drive_cmd: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdb: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
ide: failed opcode was: 0xb0
and i can't enable smart on it:
Error SMART Enable failed: Input/output error
Smartctl: SMART Enable Failed.
So in that case smartd is not an option.
Regards

not all sd? devices are sata, they could be regular scsi disks, in this
case we can't pass "-d ata". There are two possibilites here: use e.g.
"sdparm -i" to make sure it's a sata device or generalize "enable_smart"
to also carry information about the disk.
I currently even favour dropping enable_smart altogether since it's
rarely used (most people run smartd anyway and so don't need it at all)
and it causes problems when used with smartd. What do you think?

i'we made a litle patch to /etc/init.d/smartmontools
