    As per the combo in the subject:

    Does anyone have any experience with smartctl and a HP Smart Array
    642 controller?

    When I boot with HP's provided CD, the utility tells me that the
    device is SMART enabled.

    When I run smartctl version 5.32 under 5.3-STABLE (circa yesterdays's
    CVSup), hoever, I get:

      new# smartd -d
      smartd version 5.32 Copyright (C) 2002-4 Bruce Allen

      Device: /dev/da0, Bad IEC (SMART) mode page, err=-1, skip device
      Unable to register SCSI device /dev/da0
      Unable to monitor any SMART enabled devices. Exiting...

    My googling has revealed nothing useful, and I was hoping for some
    feedback on this...

    (HP's supplied Linux-based monitoring was uninstallable, and I was
    in no mood to de-Llinx the instal script.)
