Hello,
I'm trying to obtain SMART information from the SSDs attached to a Dell PERC H730 on FreeBSD 10.2.

Read defect list: asked for grown list but didn't get it
Error Counter logging not supported

Device does not support Self Test logging

I get the same output as above when I run on the pass device as : smartctl -a -T permissive /dev/pass1 

When I switch to using the mfi(4) driver, I'm able to get SMART information.

How can I get smartctl(8) to work with the mrsas(4) driver?
