I don't know if this is the right place to file this or not. I'm using a 2.6.9-r?? kernel. I emerged the latest stable version of smartmontools. It's running fine, except that I'm getting the following error message every time it checks the health of my SCSI drives: Dec 23 11:13:15 [kernel] program smartd is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO Dec 23 11:43:15 [kernel] program smartd is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge smartmontools with defaults 2. define a SCSI drive or two in /etc/smartd.conf 3. run '/etc/init.d/smartd start' 4. tail -f /var/log/everything/current or, 1. Same as above 2. smartctl -a /dev/some-scsi-hard-drive Actual Results: Dec 23 11:13:15 [kernel] program smartd is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO Dec 23 11:43:15 [kernel] program smartd is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO Expected Results: No error message. I've got an Adaptec AIC7902 controller and a couple of Seagate ST336607LC drives.

does it still happen with 5.33 ?
yes, it does still happen with smartmontools 5.33 (sys-apps/smartmontools-5.33) on my AMD64 box. eb 10 20:33:39 mail program smartctl is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO Feb 10 20:33:39 mail program smartctl is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_I
known issue upstream ... glancing through cvs it doesnt look like it's been fixed yet
seems fixed in 5.36.
