Bug#604627: linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64: megasas: Failed to alloc kernel SGL buffer for IOCTL
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-27
Severity: important
Hi,
I am unable to do short and long tests initiated with smartd/smartctl.
calling 'smartctl -d megaraid,0 /dev/sda -t short' gives:
smartctl 5.40 2010-07-12 r3124 [x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu] (local build)
