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"?
