I recently posted to this list concerning the inability of smartctl to detect the Toshiba MK1665GSX hard drive. I believe I have found out the reason. The Toshiba website states this drive supports the ATA-8 and SATA-2.6 standards. According to the smartctl man page, smartctl only supports up to the ATA-7 command set.
If this is truly the problem I need to ask if smartctl plans to support the ATA-8 standards. If you have plans on supporting ATA-8 do you have any idea when this might occur? The reason for this request is I have over 80 hard drives out in the field, they are beginning to fail, and I have no way to test them.
