segmentation fault under linux ia64

[Anatoly Pugachev]

Hello!

Using debian sid (unstable) on my ia64 blade with hpsa (cciss) driver.

Running 'smartctl' for disk status, fails with segmentation fault:

any ideas how to fix this? Thanks.

May be similar to ​GH issue 61.

The root of the problem is likely specific to ia64 architecture and may be outside the scope of smartctl (compiler bug, kernel bug). Needs to be investigated by a volunteer developer with access to such hardware.

ahh yes, it was me reporting on github, i just can't remember where i previously reported this issue. thanks for linking.
