ATA problem with FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE #10

[Olivier Cochard]

Hi all,
I meet a problem with some ATA tools (ataidle and smartmontool) and FreeBSD
6.1-PRERELEASE #10.

The ATA device working great:
$ atacontrol list
ATA channel 0:
    Master:  ad0 <IC35L040AVER07-0/ER4OA46A> ATA/ATAPI revision 5
    Slave:       no device present
ATA channel 1:
    Master: acd0 <PLEXTOR CD-R PX-W2410A/1.02> ATA/ATAPI revision 0
    Slave:       no device present


But when I want to use ataidle or smartmontools, I have error:

$ ataidle -l
Listing Devices

(no device listed with ataidle)

$ ataidle 0 0
Device Info:

Could not get device information: is a device attached?


$ smartctl -i /dev/ad0
smartctl version 5.33 [i386-portbld-freebsd6.0] Copyright (C) 2002-4 Bruce
Allen
Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/

Smartctl: Device Read Identity Failed (not an ATA/ATAPI device)

A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more '-T
permissive' options.


Is a FreeBSD 6.1 -PRERELEASE #10 bug ?

Thanks,

Olivier
