I noticed that the changelog for the new kernel 2.6.9-34 on the redhat enterprise watchlist states on of the fixes as;
145061 - SMART support in SATA driver (P1)
Does this mean that with that kernel we should be able to interrogate SATA drives now ?
It seems we will need a new smartmontools (I don't know if that's included in 4.3) even if 2.6.9-34 now supports it: ...

... Same here.
I notice that 'smartd' itself is packaged with kernel-utils and not smartmontools as I'd have expected. Does that suggest that we won't be able to use smart for sata until kernel-utils is also updated ?
That would probably be the correct conclusion, but if redhat does intend to support smart for libata then a new kernel-utils package will be part of 4.3.
