Hi all,

I'm still playing with my WD Hard Drive WD10EADS (Caviar Green 1TB):

> === START OF INFORMATION SECTION ===

I'm trying to configure smartctl so that it won't wake the HD up for  
testing, using "-n standby":

> /dev/ad6 -H -m root -a -n standby -o on -S on -s (S/../.././02| 
> L/../../6/03)

But smartd won't accept:

> smartd[94230]: Device: /dev/ad6, no ATA CHECK POWER STATUS support,  
> ignoring -n Directive

I just don't know why. Is it:

- the HD that doesn't support ata check power status?
- the FreeBSD ata driver?
- smartd that is too old for this new HD?

regards,
patpro
