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.

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.
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.
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.
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. smartctl version 5.33 [x86_64-pc-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-4 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Device Model: ST3250823AS Serial Number: 3ND0LNG3 Firmware Version: 3.02 User Capacity: 250,059,350,016 bytes Device is: Not in smartctl database [for details use: -P showall] ATA Version is: 7 ATA Standard is: Exact ATA specification draft version not indicated Local Time is: Mon Jun 20 22:59:42 2005 CEST SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.
