I'm seeing something odd and don't know if its a function of the new ada/ah=
ci driver support in smartmontools 5.38 and later.

I'm running 5.39.1 on an array using SiL3124 controllers with port multipli=
ers.

.... since all the drives, cables and controllers are identical, I'm trying=
 to figure out if there is something *else* I should be looking into for wh=
y smart would have an issue, but the rest of the OS has no issues with thes=
e drives.=A0 (zfs is storing data, reports them all as online, etc). I look=
ed into the smartctl code, and there definitely is a carve out for FreeBSD =
8.1 or later, but I don't know enough about the new internals to know if th=
e is any kind of concern parsing more than 10 drives, etc.

Thanks in advance!
