[root@ftp ~]# ls /dev/sd*
/dev/sda   /dev/sda2  /dev/sda4  /dev/sdb1  /dev/sdb3  /dev/sdc1  /dev/sdc3
/dev/sda1  /dev/sda3  /dev/sdb   /dev/sdb2  /dev/sdc   /dev/sdc2


First how come it lists sdd, sde and sdf, those don't exist anymore after I recreated the whole thing.
Second when trying the smartctl command I only get this:

Code: Select all

[root@ftp ~]# smartctl -s on /dev/sdc
smartctl version 5.38 [i386-redhat-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-8 Bruce Allen

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

and even with the permissive option it won't work

Code: Select all

[root@ftp ~]# smartctl -s on /dev/sdc -T permissive

and I thought that smart could be used with "true" ATA drives not these as they run as SCSI...or?
and last... do I really need this thing? It can show me the temp of the drives, right? and if so, will that be shown by 'sensors'?

You know I've never used it before now because I never had a drive that worked. I notice that my new laptop does seem to work:
