Hi! I have tried to find an existing bug report for this problem, but I did not find one. I have never submitted a Debian bug report before, so I wanted to double-check with you guys if this is a known issue.
I recently upgraded my Debian kFreeBSD installation from an 8.x kernel to the 9.0.1 kernel. After this was done, I could not use smartctl to check the SMART data of my hard drives any more. Example: root@debian:/# smartctl -a /dev/ad0 smartctl 5.41 2011-06-09 r3365 [GNU/kFreeBSD 9.0-1-amd64 x86_64] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-11 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net error sending CAMIOCOMMAND ioctl: Inappropriate ioctl for device Unable to get CAM device list /dev/ad0: Unable to detect device type Smartctl: please specify device type with the -d option. Use smartctl -h to get a usage summary Packages: kfreebsd-image-9.0.1-amd64 9.0.1 smartmontools 5.41+svn3365-1 I found someone else experiencing the same problem on (non-Debian) FreeBSD: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.freebsd.current/136418 Quote: "CAM ABI was changed right before RC1. The issue was mentioned in the Ken' announcement. The packages were obviously built with the old headers."
