You have to tell smartmontools, that it's actually an ATA disk. SATA |
| 5 |
devices show up as SCSI devices, but the protocol is still ATA. |
| 6 |
So this can be done with the "-d ata" switch - also see /etc/smartd.conf. |

BUT: recent versions of smartmontools can recognize SATA disks. No need |
| 9 |
for -d ata anymore! smartmontools-5.37 (which is still ~x86 and ~amd64) |
| 10 |
correctly SATA disks in all my computers. |
