AFAIK, currently Windows versions of smartctl allow piping smart data generated by 3ware tw_cli tool to smartctl, but this feature is not available in Linux.

I would greatly appreciate if it could be possible in the future to let smartctl read from stdin the hex-representation of 3ware-generated smart data and show the contents in human-readable format under Linux too.

There are operating systems where tw_cli is available, but not smartctl. My current issue is related to VMware ESXi with a 3ware controller: with tw_cli running in that environment, I can get a hex table of smart data over ssh to Linux environment, where I would like to decode the data to human readable.

Hi,

I have been using an INTEL SSDSC2BF180A5L for years with no problems, but both long and short self-tests don't work - they always immediately abort:

Num  Test_Description    Status                  Remaining  LifeTime(hours)  LBA_of_first_error
# 1  Short offline       Aborted by host               00%     14239         -
# 2  Short offline       Aborted by host               00%     14233         -
# 3  Short offline       Aborted by host               00%     14232         -
# 4  Extended offline    Aborted by host               00%     14232         -
# 5  Extended offline    Aborted by host               00%     14232         -

This happens within seconds of ordering the test.

The update-smart-drivedb script (using version 6.3) does not quote the $SMARTCTL variable correctly in line 125 so when the path to smartctl contains whitespace execution will fail. Currently line 125 reads:

if $SMARTCTL -B "$DEST.new" -P showall >/dev/null; then :; else
