>Description:
The latest 6.2_1 revision of sysutils/smartmontools will not correctly utilize "smartctl -n standby" argument when issued to sleeping drives attached to mps/mpt controller. Drives are woken up and an error is generated in smartctl command output:

# smartctl -n standby -A /dev/da10
...
"Checking health of /dev/da10: CHECK POWER MODE: incomplete response, ATA output registers missing
CHECK POWER MODE not implemented, ignoring -n option"
...



>How-To-Repeat:
issue command to sleeping drive with latest port revision of smartmontools:

# smartctl -n standby -A /dev/da0
>Fix:
reverting to earlier port revision of 6.2 fixes problem:

# smartctl -n standby -A /dev/da10
smartctl 6.2 2013-07-26 r3841 [FreeBSD 9.2-STABLE amd64] (local build)
