There is an experimental patch in the libata-dev tree that appears (and I mean it works for me) to
support SMART reliably on a UP kernel. There is a known issue with SMP kernels ATM. I have been
using it every 20 minutes on a reasonably loaded server with 13 SATA and 1 ATA disks now for what
must be several months with no issues. (It has helped detect a pending disk failure quite nicely)/
I guess it will stay experimental until someone with an SMP machine can assist Andy in debugging the
SCSI passthough code (It's not SMART specific at this stage).
