This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156) --------------enig357B4BD2A8DA21F3761E9254 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello, for quick harddrive tests (SMART, noise, backup etc..) I bought a very=20 nice "docking" station connected to my ICH9 SATA controller=20 (http://www.sharkoon.com/html/produkte/externe_gehaeuse/sata_quickport_pr= o/index_en.html) I can read/write to inserted disks, also smartctl works, but my=20 favourite test doesn't run: diskinfo -t /dev/ad10 returns: ioctl(DIOCGMEDIASIZE) failed, probably not a disk.: Inappropriate ioctl=20 for device The eSATA bridge is a initio 1611 chip. I have another external SATA enclosure and there is the same problem. Any ideas what the reason is and how to "fix"? Best regards, -Harry --------------enig357B4BD2A8DA21F3761E9254 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkiUB2wACgkQLDqVQ9VXb8h3bACfRXb3MRVs7uAtcLr3c1DytFtF 8kMAoKsofEm22XzTkQnL+QDd18XntEhO =GxDn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig357B4BD2A8DA21F3761E9254--
