12 Can smartmontools handle SATA disks? I got the following messages when
13 I tried to get SMART info from my disk:
14
15 # smartctl -a /dev/sda
16 smartctl version 5.33 [i686-pc-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-4 Bruce Allen
17 Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/

19 Device: ATA HTS541040G9AT00 Version: MB2I

21 SATA disks accessed via libata are not currently supported by
22 smartmontools. When libata is given an ATA pass-thru ioctl() then an
23 additional '-d libata' device type will be added to smartmontools.
