smartmontools + freebsd-9 kernel "gives error sending CAMIOCOMMAND ioctl: Inappropriate ioctl for device"
Hi!
I have tried to find an existing bug report for this problem, but I did not find one. I have never submitted a Debian bug report before, so I wanted to double-check with you guys if this is a known issue.
I recently upgraded my Debian kFreeBSD installation from an 8.x kernel to the 9.0.1 kernel. After this was done, I could not use smartctl to check the SMART data of my hard drives any more.
Example:
error sending CAMIOCOMMAND ioctl: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Unable to get CAM device list
/dev/ad0: Unable to detect device type
Smartctl: please specify device type with the -d option.
Use smartctl -h to get a usage summary
Packages:
kfreebsd-image-9.0.1-amd64 9.0.1
smartmontools 5.41+svn3365-1
Quote: "CAM ABI was changed right before RC1. The issue was mentioned in the Ken' announcement. The packages were obviously built with the old headers."
