The most misunderstood part of the attributes is "pre-fail" and "Old_age". They are the TYPE of attribute not the current condition.

I suggest that placing the TYPE column immediately after the attribute name would help this.

Currently the report is:

ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME FLAG VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE UPDATED WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE

1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate 0x000b 100 100 062 Pre-fail Always - 0 4 Start_Stop_Count 0x0012 099 099 000 Old_age Always - 2156

I suggest the arrangement should be

ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME TYPE FLAG VALUE WORST THRESH UPDATED WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE

1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate Pre-fail 0x000b 100 100 062 Always - 0

4 Start_Stop_Count Old_age 0x0012 099 099 000 Always - 2156

Thank you all for your work on this great tool.

Hello,

I encountered this error when testing 3ware support under Windows (XP 32 bit and win7 64bit).

Suppose the drive behind the controller is /dev/sdd,2. Running "smartctl -s on (or off) on /dev/sdd,2" works. However, running "smartctl -s off /dev/sdd" says "Disable failed: Input/output error". After this, the SMART data is accessible neither on "/dev/sdd,2", nor "/dev/sdd". Trying to re-enable it says "Smartctl: Device Read Identity Failed (not an ATA/ATAPI device)". The 3ware web interface also says that it cannot access SMART data on the drive. Only a reboot seems to help.

smartmontools: smartmontools-5.41-0-20110204-r3253.win32-setup.exe. Windows: observed under winxp (32-bit) and win7 (64-bit). Controller: 3ware 9690SA-4I4E, 1 drive attached to port 2.

This is the full log of my commands under winxp:

Hello,

Is it possible for "smartctl -i" to always print sector sizes? I got a new drive recently and wanted to find out its sector size. Smartctl wouldn't say, but then I accidentally found out (while reading its sources) that it actually prints that info, but only when the sector size is not 512. I think it would be much more intuitive if it always printed that, because the current behavior is a bit confusing (at least it was to me).

Thanks
