Dear smartmontools developers! Until the very recent version of smartmontools (5.39), SMART through USB was not possible on Mac OS X, because the Mac OS X kernel does not support SCSI pass through (reasoning of Christian Franke). Meanwhile I googled for: http://www.google.com/search?q=mac+osx+scsi+passthrough+usb And found a person, who wrote a SCSI pass through driver for Mac OS X: http://tinyco.de/2009/02/04/writing-a-mac-osx-usb-device-driver-with-scsi-pass-through.html In the site's comment section I asked as Stefan Nowak whether this code could be used for passing through SMART: http://tinyco.de/2009/02/04/writing-a-mac-osx-usb-device-driver-with-scsi-pass-through.html#comment-24129787 And the developer answered within the site's comment section as wagerlabs, that it should work: http://tinyco.de/2009/02/04/writing-a-mac-osx-usb-device-driver-with-scsi-pass-through.html#comment-24130057 I don't know low-level coding, otherwise I would offer my help. Please, dear Darwin related smartmontools developers: Could you built SMART through USB support into the Mac version of smartmontools? Regards, Stefan Nowak |

The ATA SMART RETURNS STATUS command provides the result in the ATA output registers. Buggy ATA/SATA drivers and SAT Layers often do not properly return the registers values. If a SAT Layer does not provide an ATA Return Descriptor with the output registers, smartctl 5.39 prints the following message and aborts: Error SMART Status command failed Please get assistance from http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more '-T permissive' options. Smartctl should not abort in this case and print a more specific warning message. The output for 'smartctl -H ...' should be as follows: SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: UNKNOWN |
