[-- Attachment #1 --] Hello, for quick harddrive tests (SMART, noise, backup etc..) I bought a very nice "docking" station connected to my ICH9 SATA controller (http://www.sharkoon.com/html/produkte/externe_gehaeuse/sata_quickport_pro/index_en.html) I can read/write to inserted disks, also smartctl works, but my favourite test doesn't run: diskinfo -t /dev/ad10 returns: ioctl(DIOCGMEDIASIZE) failed, probably not a disk.: Inappropriate ioctl 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 [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkiUB2wACgkQLDqVQ9VXb8h3bACfRXb3MRVs7uAtcLr3c1DytFtF 8kMAoKsofEm22XzTkQnL+QDd18XntEhO =GxDn -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
