Hello SCSI people,

I'm seeing an issue with SMART queries on SATA devices connected to =
MegaRAID SAS9261-8i controllers.

OS:
	FreeBSD  8.2-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 8.2-PRERELEASE #12: Wed Dec 15 =
01:16:54 EST 2010 amd64
Driver:
	dev.mfi.0.%pnpinfo: vendor=3D0x1000 device=3D0x0079 =
subvendor=3D0x15d9 subdevice=3D0x0700 class=3D0x010400
	dev.mfi.0.firmware: 12.11.0-0016
Disks:
	Intel X25-E, ATA SSDSA2SH064G1GC 8860
	Seagate Barracuda.2 ES, ATA ST3250310NS SN06

Smartctl is correctly detecting that the device is a SAT-connected ATA =
device, and can complete all of the other commands it tries (IDENTIFY =
DEVICE, SMART READ ATTRIBUTE VALUES, etc).  The SMART STATUS CHECK fails =
every time, though, in exactly the same way.  I've reproduced it on =
multiple disks connected to multiple controllers.  It happens with =
smartctl 5.39.1 and 5.40.

This is the command that fails:
> REPORT-IOCTL: Device=3D/dev/pass14 Command=3DSMART STATUS CHECK
>  Input:   FR=3D0xda, SC=3D...., LL=3D...., LM=3D0x4f, LH=3D0xc2, =
DEV=3D...., CMD=3D0xb0
>  [ata pass-through(16): 85 06 2c 00 da 00 00 00 00 00 4f 00 c2 00 b0 =
00 ]  status=3D0
>   Incoming data, len=3D0:
> Error SMART Status command failed
> Please get assistance from http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/
> REPORT-IOCTL: Device=3D/dev/pass14 Command=3DSMART STATUS CHECK =
returned -1

This appears in the log:
> Dec 15 17:55:11 system13 kernel: mfi0: 3255 (345750911s/0x0002/info) -=20=

> Unexpected sense: PD 07(e0xfc/s2) Path 4433221102000000,=20
> CDB: 00 00 00 00 00 00, Sense: 0/00/00


The CDB is empty - very odd.  Any pointers on how I can begin to debug =
this?  Is it a driver or firmware issue?

I don't think it's a smartctl issue because the same command works fine =
on mpt-connected SATA devices.

Thanks,
  Andrew

P.S. Pulling in SVN 216235 didn't seem to make a difference.
