Bug#658185: freebsd-9: freebsd-9 kernel + smartmontools: "error sending CAMIOCOMMAND ioctl: Inappropriate ioctl for device"
Package: kfreebsd-image-9.0-1-amd64
Version: 9.0-1
Severity: normal
File: freebsd-9
Hi!
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:
root@debian:/# smartctl -a /dev/ad0
smartctl 5.41 2011-06-09 r3365 [GNU/kFreeBSD 9.0-1-amd64 x86_64] (local build)
Copyright (C) 2002-11 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net
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
I found someone else experiencing the same problem on (non-Debian) FreeBSD: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.freebsd.current/136418
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."
I originally reported this in the mail thread at http://lists.debian.org/debian-bsd/2012/01/msg00135.html , which contains a reply from Robert Millan stating:
"There's indeed an ABI problem. You could try if rebuilding
smartmontools with latest kfreebsd-kernel-headers "fixes" the problem,
but that's most likely to break it for kfreebsd-8. We'll need to add
some compat glue.
The ABI break is in SVN rev 225950 I think."
