I have problems to start smartmonitor-tools:
smartctl -i -d ata /dev/sda -T permissive
smartctl version 5.32 Copyright (C) 2002-4 Bruce Allen
Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/
Smartctl: Device Read Identity Failed (not an ATA/ATAPI device)
=== START OF INFORMATION SECTION ===
Device Model: [No Information Found]
Serial Number: [No Information Found]
Firmware Version: [No Information Found]
Device is: Not in smartctl database [for details use: -P showall]
ATA Version is: 1
ATA Standard is: Exact ATA specification draft version not indicated
Local Time is: Wed Aug 9 11:43:58 2006 CEST
SMART is only available in ATA Version 3 Revision 3 or greater.
We will try to proceed in spite of this.
SMART support is: Ambiguous - ATA IDENTIFY DEVICE words 82-83 don't show if
SMART supported. A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue,
add one or more '-T permissive' options.
the hardware setup:
- mobo: Asus A8N-SLI
- 2 sata harddrives: 300 GB Samsung 300 GB
- kernel: 2.6.8-12-amd64-k8
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
