Hi all, due to some failing dics I got myself a JMicro USB<->ATA,SATA cable for data recovery and co.
However, I was quite suprised that the SMART (...) status querries would not go thru. # smartctl -a /dev/sdb smartctl version 5.37 [x86_64-t2-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-6 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ Device: SAMSUNG SP1654N Version: 0-37 Device type: disk Local Time is: Thu Feb 14 18:19:09 2008 CET Device does not support SMART Error Counter logging not supported Device does not support Self Test logging As I do not know the underlying protocols off-hand, is that a driver / sub-system limitation or not possible to get thru this USB mass storage protocol?
