The smartmontools port (5.33_4) doesn't seem to work right -- it's getting gibberish in the device identity. This seemed to start happening after I switched from an ASUS P4PE (i845PE chipset) to a Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 (nForce 4 chipset). Here's what I get with "smartctl -i ad0" (results are similar for ad1): smartctl version 5.33 [i386-portbld-freebsd5.4] Copyright (C) 2002-4 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Device Model: 90}uxtov 6u040l0 Serial Number: E1E1;|84ae Firmware Version: [No Information Found] Device is: Not in smartctl database [for details use: -P showall] ATA Version is: 6 ATA Standard is: Not recognized.

Hmm, I can't seem to duplicate this problem. From this, it looks like we are running similar releases also: FreeBSD domain.crafts4life.com 5.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE #0: Sun May 8 10:21:06 UTC 2005 root@harlow.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Can you try the latest CVS version of smartmontools from the source forge site?
