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 ?
Cheers,
Bards.

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:
[root@dx ~]# uname -r 2.6.9-34.ELsmp [root@dx ~]# smartctl -a /dev/sda smartctl version 5.33 [x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-4 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/
Device: ATA HDS728080PLA380 Version: PF2O
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.

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 ?
Cheers.

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.

And there is a 'kernel-utils-2.4-13.1.80.i386.rpm' listed in the new packages for update 3.
Whats the best way to get the changelog if I dont have an 'EL' box, is it in the free src.rpm ?

here's a perfect opportunity for you to contribute something, don't ask, go check and the tell us :-) (hint: rpm -qp --changelog)
