working USB bridge chip report (USB id 13fd:1ef0, -d sat)

Hi all,
I have a new USB bridge to report: ID 13fd:1e40. Smartctl reports that it is an unknown USB bridge but -d sat does the trick perfectly. I have tested it with several different 3.5" HDDs.

This bridge chip is made by Initio Corporation according to lsusb, and is found in my NexStar CX USB enclosure.

Thanks for this great software,
Dan

Problem enabling SMART on a drive in a CCISS RAID.

I have a system with an HP CCISS RAID with 6x36GB drives (an old one)
which has a drive that I can't enable SMART on. All the others are fine.

# smartctl -i -q noserial -d cciss,3 /dev/cciss/c0d0
smartctl 5.42 2011-10-20 r3458 (local build)
Copyright (C) 2002-11 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net

Vendor:               COMPAQ
Product:              BD03685A24
Revision:             HPB2
User Capacity:        36,419,584,000 bytes [36.4 GB]
Logical block size:   512 bytes
Device type:          disk
Transport protocol:   Parallel SCSI (SPI-4)
Local Time is:        Tue Feb  7 10:42:45 2012 EST
Device supports SMART and is Disabled
Temperature Warning Enabled

Attempting to enable SMART produces this:

# smartctl -s on -d cciss,3 /dev/cciss/c0d0

Informational Exceptions (SMART) disabled
Temperature warning enabled

I can still use smartctl to perform offline tests etc, but because SMART
is off, smartd won't monitor it or perform automatic tests.

Any clues?

Chris

smartctl fails on sat pass-through for version >=5.39.1


Dear smartmontools developers,

  we are experiencing a problem in accessing SMART information of SATA
disks attached to an Adaptec 5805 on Linux after the update to
smartmontools-5.41. With the previous version, smartmontools-5.39, we
had full access to SMART information and test.

On smartmontools-5.41, the following command, that is normally
successful with smartmontools-5.39, fails with "Operation not permitted"

[root <at> pc-tdq-sfo-12 ~]# smartctl  /dev/sg1 -d sat -a
smartctl 5.41 2011-06-09 r3365 [x86_64-linux-2.6.18-274.12.1.el5] (local
build)
Copyright (C) 2002-11 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net

Smartctl: Device Read Identity Failed: Operation not permitted

A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more
'-T permissive' options.

After some bisecting, we realized the problem we experience was
introduced in release 5.39.1, by this change:

http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/smartmontools/changeset/3052

My understanding is that ioctls on the scsi devices fails due to the
device being opened with the O_RDONLY flag:

[root <at> pc-tdq-sfo-12 ~]# strace smartctl  /dev/sg1 -d sat -a 2>&1 |grep
open |grep sg1
open("/dev/sg1", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK)   = 3
[root <at> pc-tdq-sfo-12 ~]# smartctl  /dev/sg1 -d sat -a -r ioctl
smartctl 5.41 2011-06-09 r3365 [x86_64-linux-2.6.18-274.12.1.el5] (local
build)

errno=1 [Operation not permitted]
Smartctl: Device Read Identity Failed: Operation not permitted

A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more
'-T permissive' options.

We verified that simply replacing the O_RDONLY flag with O_RDRW,
smartmontools-5.41 becomes fully functional for us.

Now, I don't have enough experience with SCSI and SAT to easily
understand the underlying source of the observed behaviour. I can
imagine it could depend on the driver/firmware version of the RAID card,
which in fact are not the most up-to-date ones. Or perhaps I'm just
missing some trivial option ...

Do you have any hint?

Thanks a lot in advance.
Cheers
        Wainer

How to disable smartd on root iscsi (or fcoe) disks?

Hi:

I am trying to fix a problem where a root iscsi remote disc boot is being disrupted by smartd.

The problem appears to be that smartd sends down multiple SCSI Inquiry requests with the wrong StatSN. This trigger the iSCSI target to reject the PDU, which trigger session recovery, i.e. it disconnects.

The default smartd.conf seems to scarf all discs. Is there or could there be an option to skip iSCSI (or otherwise remote) discs?

[I am not on the email list, so please reply to me directly.]

Thank you.

Bad block HOWTO for smartmontools

Hello,

thanks for your Bad block Howto for smartmontools under:

http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/badblockhowto.html

It helped me understand the problems I had.

Since I use a software RAID5, your offered solutions did not quite work out, 
but I finally found a very elegant solution for Softraid:

echo repair > /sys/block/md1/md/sync_action

I am not sure, if this howto is still maintained. If yes, I think the mention 
of the above command could be of help for people with Softraid.

Best Regards

Patrick Zuther

smartd and iSCSI root volume disruption

Hi:

I am trying to diagnose a problem on SUSE. It appears that booting from
an iSCSI volume is either failing or taking a really long time (one
assume because of error recovery).

It appears that the smartmon daemon is sending multiple SCSI Inquiry
commands with the wrong StatSN. This causes my target (from
iscsitarget.sourceforge.net) to reject the INQUIRY PDU, which triggers
session recovery (i.e. disconnect, reconnect, and try again).

My first question is why are these INQUIRY commands being sent.

My second question is why is smartd trying to monitory an iSCSI target?
The default configuration file seems to scarf up all discs. Is there an
option to tell it to skip virtualized or remote targets? It seems to me
smartd has little value in the case of a remote iSCSI target.

Thank you.

The normalised value is a "health" score. In many cases a normalised 
value of 100 indicates perfect health for a particular attribute. In 
your case it appears that WD has chosen 43C as the acceptable norm, 
and assigned it a health score of 100. If the drive is cooler than 
43C, then it is healthier (greater than 100), whereas if it is hotter 
than 43C, then it is less healthy (less than 100).
