| | 587 | |
| | 588 | When I run {{{smartctl -x}}} output contains lines that: |
| | 589 | |
| | 590 | {{{ |
| | 591 | ATA_READ_LOG_EXT (addr=0x11:0x00, page=0, n=1) failed: 48-bit ATA commands not implemented |
| | 592 | Read SATA Phy Event Counters failed |
| | 593 | }}} |
| | 594 | |
| | 595 | This is because OSX provides very limited SMART API and direct disk access is not allowed. It is possible to use Linux LiveCD to get full information about the drive. |

| | 598 | === OSX - External USB / !FireWire drive diagnostics support === |
| | 599 | |
| | 600 | Mac OS X does not support diagnosing external drives using S.M.A.R.T. technology “out of the box” . In order to allow your Mac to diagnose external drives, you will need to install a special third party driver. Please note that this is a requirement of Mac OS X, and not smartmontools. Links: |
