----- Original Message ---- smartmontools isn't the appropriate program you need to use a program called idacontrol get it from ftp.jurai.net/users/winter/idacontrol.tar More on PR i386/70482 Use smartmontools on ATA disks. Your 360 uses SCSI disks on a proprietary controller which doesen't support the interface needed to run it. ------------------------------- Thank you Ted, idacontrol works fine and returns some usefull information about the attached disk drives. I also found this suggestion interesting: #define IDA_QCB_MAX = 128 instead of 256 in sys/dev/ida/idavar.h because one of my DL360's resets itself about once a month with a very similar error as mentioned in thread http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-scsi/2005-September/002034.html ida0: soft error ida_command: out of QCBsida0: ida_timeout() qactive 256 ida0: IDA_INTERRUPTS ida0: R_CMD_FIFO: 00000000 R_DONE_FIFO: 00000000 R_INT_MASK: 00000000 R_STATUS: 00000000 R_INT_PENDING: 00000000Nick ____________________________________________________________________________________Boardwalk for $500?
