I got this error when I ran this command. saint# ./smartctl -a -d 3ware,0 /dev/twe0 smartctl version 5.33 [i386-unknown-freebsd4.10] Copyright (C) 2002-4 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ Smartctl open device: /dev/twe0 failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device This is the same error I got with version 5.3.0. (install via freebsd ports) I am using a pretty old firmware, do yuo think that might be it? Or is it possible this only works with FreeBSD 5.x? - Carroll Kong ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eduard Martinescu" To: Cc: "Carroll Kong" ; "Jason Thomson" ; ; Sent: Wednesday, September 08, 2004 4:45 PM Subject: Re: 3ware 7506, FreeBSD 4.x, Maxtor Disks & SMART Problems. > If you want to test out the experimental 3ware support in smartmontools, you > can check out the CVS version or wait a few days for the 5.33 release (not > sure when ports will be updated, however, as this is not a 'stable' release). > > I have added support for 7xxx series 3ware controllers (/dev/twe*), and I'm > currently working on supporting the 9xxx series 3ware controllers > (/dev/twa*). > > Ed > On Wednesday 08 September 2004 03:24 pm, Carroll Kong wrote: > > Hi, in reference to this > > http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2004-June/007828.html > > > > I have a FreeBSD 4.10-p2 system, using a 7450 with 4xMAXTOR 6L080J4 (80 > > gig) disks. > > > > Raid 5 setup. > > > > Monitor version: ME7X 1.01.00.035 > > Firmware version: FE7X 1.05.00.036 > > BIOS version: BE7X 1.08.00.044 > > > > > > (Firmware 7.5.3 basically). > > > > I am also having the same problems you are having.
