Description R!tman 2005-06-20 10:46:46 UTC
At the moement gentoo-sources (2.6.x) do not support S.M.A.R.T. for sata-drives.
There is a patch that enables this for these drives which can be found at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jgarzik/libata/. Parts of the
patch seem to have been included in gentoo-sources already, as some instances of
the patch did not apply 100% clean.
I believe the S.M.A.R.T.-part oft the patch can also be inlcuded in gentoo-sources.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Apply the patch mentioned above. 
Actual Results:  
S.M.A.R.T. works, eg. together with >=hddtemp-0.3-beta13 temperatures of sata
drives can be monitored.


I have tested this with gentoo-sources-2.6.11-r7 (for about 4 weeks) and
gentoo-sources-2.6.11-r11 (since 1 week) on amd64. No problems of any kind
occured during that time. I have a software raid 5, if that might be of interest.

Comment 2 R!tman 2005-06-20 11:54:00 UTC
This is not a duplicate. HERE, a patch is requested to be applied to
gentoo-sources, in 96627 an ebuild is requested.
The ebuild does not at all depend on the patch. hddtemp work without it on
normal ide harddiscs.
Comment 3 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-20 12:01:55 UTC
I've CCed kernel in the other bug, but as you wish. Just please don't post the
same to both bugs, not really needed at all. 
Comment 4 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-20 13:59:09 UTC
We tend to avoid feature patches in gentoo-sources. I suggest that you email the
maintainer and let him know that the functionality seems to work and see if
there is anything you can do to help it get submitted to the Linux development tree.
Comment 5 Nebojsa Trpkovic 2005-06-20 14:02:18 UTC
I had the same need (as many others) - to read temperature and other SMART info
from my SATA hard drives to early detect failure.
Applied libdata patch on gentoo sources 2.6.11-r6, 2.6.11-r7 and 2.6.11-r11 on
my desktop box and my server.
Everything works just fine for more then a month (server is up 24/7).

It seems to me as a VERY usefull feature, so pleace consider adding it to
gentoo-sources patch-set.
