Hello all

I am running FreeBSD 8_Stable, and i started to use the ahci driver, all
is fine 

All my drives are now detected as ada[0-9]

 

But when i run smartctl it give me the following message:

 

Smartctl version 5.38 [amd64-portbld-freebsd8.0] Copyright (c) 2002-9
Bruce allen

Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/

 

Smartctl: Device read Identity Failed (nota n ATA/ATAPI device)

 

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

 

 

Do i need to set some option somewhere,  or rebuild smartmontools with
some option?

 

 

Regards,
Johan
