I have SATA drives and have found that the newest smartmontools package will retrieve smart data from SATA drives with the '-d ata' switch.
Is there a devel/testing package of kernel-utils available or should I just roll my own?
WORKSFORME on both centos3 and centos4 with stock tools and kernels.
Not me. On our boxes with SATA drives, smartd fails to start, and this is sent to /var/log/messages:
Jun 13 14:17:37 foo smartd[10289]: Device /dev/sda, SATA disks accessed via libata are not currently supported by smartmontools. When libata is given an ATA pass-thru ioctl() then an additional '-d libata' device type will be added to smartmontools.
