I used smartmontools for sata devices quite successfully awhile.
Since 2.6.12.2 however, I get an ioerror on "DENTIFY DEVICE"
errno=3D25 [Inappropriate ioctl for device] and smartctl gives up.

So, is the prelimnary SMART support over ATA commands broken again
and I have to wait patiently until smart over SCSI commands will
work some day.

I feel like flying blind with my 3.5TB SATA data without SMART....

Dieter.
