Re: freebsd-9.0 smartmontools and ada devices

Hi Guys,

I have upgraded my desktop from 8.2-stable to 9.0-RC1 (from source), using
a GENERIC kernel. I have installed the smartmontools-5.41_3 package from
a mirror and found that smartmontools does not like the ada devices anymore.
Previously (8.2) I had a GENERIC kernel, with ahci loaded in loader.conf.
There an older smartmontools (5.40) worked without a problem on the ada
devices.

The output of smartctl looks like this:

#############################
dolphin# smartctl -a /dev/ada0
smartctl 5.41 2011-06-09 r3365 [FreeBSD 9.0-RC1 amd64] (local build)
Copyright (C) 2002-11 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net

error sending CAMIOCOMMAND ioctl: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Unable to get CAM device list
/dev/ada0: Unable to detect device type
Smartctl: please specify device type with the -d option.

Use smartctl -h to get a usage summary

#############################

Has anybody seen it?


Yes, but rebuilding smartmontools fixed it for me.
