I'd like to know if anyone else with a Promise SATA300 TX2/TX4 using
sata_promise is seeing problems with sending ATA cmds to
enable/disable smart auto-offline mode and/or attribute auto-saving.
(smartctl -o on -S on ...)
According to smartctl, my drives support both of these features, but
when the corresponding smart cmds are sent via the driver, the card
returns an error indicating illegal commands:
smartctl -a -d ata /dev/sda
...
Offline data collection
capabilities: (0x5b) SMART execute Offline immediate.
Auto Offline data collection
on/off support.
...
SMART capabilities: (0x0003) Saves SMART data before entering
power-saving mode.
Supports SMART auto save timer.
...
When smartd actually sends these ata cmds to the driver (with my
patched kernel to output smart error codes):
auto-offline cmd (which is obsolete in atapi-7)
ata4.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen
ata4.00: tag 0 cmd 0xb0 Emask 0x2 stat 0x50 err 0x0 (HSM violation)
ata4.00: smart cmd 0xdb (obsolete or reserved feature)
auto-save cmd
ata4.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen
ata4.00: tag 0 cmd 0xb0 Emask 0x2 stat 0x50 err 0x0 (HSM violation)
ata4.00: smart cmd 0xd2 (enable/disable attribute autosave)
Are these cards failing to pass through these specific cmds? These two
are the only ones which seem to show up in dmesg while using
smartctl/smartd.
Thanks -Andrew

Worked like a charm! Just patched up smartmontools now and I don't get
the failed cmds anymore. Hope Bruce takes that patch soon.

Bruce took the patch and it will be included in the next version of
smartmontools. :-)

Hello Tejun, Bruce,
Sorry to bring up an old thread, but it looks like this patch did not
actually make it into smartmontools 5.37 or CVS. Tejun, could you
please take another look and update the patch? There's a new user of
STRANGE_BUFFER_LENGTH and I don't know enough about the code to fix
it properly.

I definitely can do that but I guess we need Bruce's confirmation about
the patch first. Bruce?
