But information in

But information in exists:

# grep SA400S37 /usr/share/smartmontools/drivedb.h

"KINGSTON SA400S37(120|240|480|960)G", Kingston A400 SSD/SBFKB1D1

How to solve this?

[AGHost]

And my firmware version differ than - SBFKB1D1. I have - SBFK10D7

Does the drive actually report two spaces between vendor and model? Never seen this before.

If yes, this is the root of the problem.

Please provide the output of smartctl -r ioctl,2 -i ... as an attachment. Don't paste it into a comment.

Regex match results from latest ​CircleCI build for Windows:

Out of smartctl -r ioctl,2 -i command

[AGHost]

Yes, have double spaces between KINGSTON and SA400S37480G

[AGHost]

I have 4 SSD on this server and all have 2 spaces in device model.

[AGHost]

And patching drivedb.h with add one space resolved this issue.

[Christian Franke]

Interestingly there is only one space in the sample output attached above​ which reports same firmware version SBFK10D7 but different size.

Is there any special SATA(RAID?) controller involved? In the past, there were few cases were controller firmware modified ATA IDENTIFY data.

[AGHost]

No, server have only software raid 10 and don't have any separate disk controllers. This is old server with Xeon E5640, those disks work only on 3Gbit instead of 6.

message log:

Device: /dev/sda, type changed from 'scsi' to 'sat'

[AGHost]

I'm testing on other server with i7-7700K and have double spaces. So, this is not controller issue:

I'm not seeing the double spacing in your last comment?

Edit: Nevermind, looks like trac truncated the extra white space. It may be that identify device was set erroneously and we didn't catch it. You can contact our technical support and get them replaced with new drives.

But keep in mind your replacement drives may use a different controller than what you have now (Phison S11). We use different controllers for the A400 model family and you may get a Phison-based drive or a SMI-based drive, or even something else in the future.

Now made visible with Trac markup for preformatted text.

Do IDENTIFY strings and/or attributes depend on controller?

[Christian Franke]

Extra space added to regex in r4836, r4837.

[AGHost]

I'm not seeing the double spacing in your last comment?

Probably this website converted double-spaces to tab when I'm paste from terminal. And you will see one symbol.

Extra space added to regex

Thank you, now all is fine.

We use different controllers for the A400 model family and you may get a Phison-based drive or a SMI-based drive, or even something else in the future.

Do IDENTIFY strings and/or attributes depend on controller?

For the A400 model family:
The model number will always be the same (although the double spacing was a mistake).
The firmware revision number will change depending on the controller used.
The SMART attributes *should* remain the same.
Some other identify strings may change depending on what features that particular controller supports.

BTW thanks for fixing this issue in drivedb.

Comment deleted. This is in https://www.smartmontools.org/browser/trunk/smartmontools/drivedb.h, but was missing from /var/lib/smartmontools/drivedb/drivedb.h

update-smart-driveb (suggested by the faq) does not exist on updated Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS. Instead, I used:
