I tried installing a backport of smartmontools 5.37, but it has the same issue.
The 'blacktower' system works even with 5.36 however.. so I don't think its smartmontools related, and still a kernel issue that may need a backported fix if its been fixed upstream already. -- smartmontools/smartctl does not work on SATA drives on Linux Kernel 2.6.20-15.27 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/106821 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
