Hello,

I encountered this error when testing 3ware support under Windows (XP 32 bit and win7 64bit).

Suppose the drive behind the controller is /dev/sdd,2. Running "smartctl -s on (or off) on /dev/sdd,2" works. However, running "smartctl -s off /dev/sdd" says "Disable failed: Input/output error". After this, the SMART data is accessible neither on "/dev/sdd,2", nor "/dev/sdd". Trying to re-enable it says "Smartctl: Device Read Identity Failed (not an ATA/ATAPI device)". The 3ware web interface also says that it cannot access SMART data on the drive. Only a reboot seems to help.

smartmontools: smartmontools-5.41-0-20110204-r3253.win32-setup.exe. Windows: observed under winxp (32-bit) and win7 (64-bit). Controller: 3ware 9690SA-4I4E, 1 drive attached to port 2.

This is the full log of my commands under winxp:

Hello,

Is it possible for "smartctl -i" to always print sector sizes? I got a new drive recently and wanted to find out its sector size. Smartctl wouldn't say, but then I accidentally found out (while reading its sources) that it actually prints that info, but only when the sector size is not 512. I think it would be much more intuitive if it always printed that, because the current behavior is a bit confusing (at least it was to me).

Thanks
