Description
Hi,
There is a problem with monitoring SATA disks on Adaptec 7 series. I have identical Seagate SAS drives, Corsair Force GS SSD's and WDC SATA drives connected to Adaptec 6805 and Adaptec 71605 in another machine. All is fine on the machine with the 6805. On the machine with the 71605 the SAS drives work fine, but there is a problem with SATA drives. I tested various versions of smartmontools available in Debian and it's always the same. Smartd refuses to monitor the drives, claiming it can't enable SMART:
smartd[17562]: Device: /dev/sg7 [SAT], opened smartd[17562]: Device: /dev/sg7 [SAT], WDC WD4000FYYZ-01UL1B0, S/N:WD-WCC130248974, WWN:5-0014ee-25d6165c4, FW:01.01K01, 4.00 TB smartd[17562]: Device: /dev/sg7 [SAT], found in smartd database: Western Digital RE4 (SATA 6Gb/s) smartd[17562]: Device: /dev/sg7 [SAT], could not enable SMART capability.
When treated with "smartctl -d sat -a /dev/sg7" it looks pretty normal though:

Please note the test results above - displayed as usal. You cannot however launch the tests with "smartctl -d sat -t long /dev/sg7" - smartctl complains about some badly formed scsi parameters:

What't more interesting, you can launch the test pretending the disk is SCSI (!?) with "smartctl -d scsi -t long /dev/sg7":

The test indeed takes place, and you can see the result later on with "smartctl -d sat -a /dev/sg7" (please note "-d sat", not "-d scsi" used to launch the test). Don't think you can check the test result with "smartctl -d scsi -a /dev/sg7" (still "-d scsi" is a must to launch the test) - the command will only display:

I even made a small patch to smartd so that it ignores "could not enable SMART capability" condition and it seems to monitor some attributes for those SATA drives. But unfortunately it will not support scheduling SMART tests for SATA drives.
It is also strange that to manually schedule SMART tests you need to pretend the SATA disks are SCSI and later on query them with smartctl back as regular SATA disks.

This result actually suggests a bug in the SAT ATA PASS-THROUGH(16) implementation of this controller's firmware and/or driver. You might want to send bug report to Adaptec.
Please try whether ATA PASS-THROUGH(12) command works: Use "-d sat,12" option.
What't more interesting, you can launch the test pretending the disk is SCSI (!?) with "smartctl -d scsi -t long /dev/sg7":
This is as expected. The SAT standard defines a translation from SCSI to ATA self-test commands. For example SEND DIAGNOSTIC(Background long self-test) is translated to SMART EXECUTE OFF-LINE IMMEDIATE(Extended self-test). This part of the SAT layer is apparently implemented properly.

It fails both with sat,12 and sat,16.

It must be more likely something with the controller then, as I use the very same driver in a host with Adaptec 6805 where it works fine.

buggy SAT implementation on specific controller - it is recommended to upgrade fw and contact vendor if problem persist
Possibly a problem with NON-DATA ATA commands (SMART ENABLE, SMART EXECUTE OFF-LINE IMMEDIATE) issued through the controller's SAT layer.
Please try "
smartctl -d sat -s on /dev/sg7".
