FreeBSD 10.3 system with LSI MegaRAID 9271-8i SATA/SAS RAID controller.

Recommended (and supported) driver for this newer controller is mrsas (4) (and old mfi (4) driver is neither supported by LSI nor actively developed, it supports new controllers in some obsolete ineffective way).

mrsas (4) gives virtual drives to the OS as devices /dev/daXX although I found that /dev/passX devices are also created (/dev/daN has corresponding /dev/passN) in case it matters.

I have smartctl 6.5 2016-05-07 r4318 [FreeBSD 10.3-STABLE amd64] (local build)

I want to get S.M.A.R.T. status of an SSD which MegaRAID-assigned device ID is 12, and it is hidden under /dev/da0 virtual drive.

Now what I get:

[root@chort /]# smartctl -a /dev/da0

Can anything be done about this? I badly need to monitor S.M.A.R.T. status of my SAS/SATA drives under the MegaRAID...

Thanks in advance! WBR, Andrii

It appears Western Digital has begun shipping out models of their WD My Passport Ultra 2TB drives (USB 3.0) (other capacities unconfirmed) that use a USB/SATA bridge unknown to smartmontools. -d sat is needed to make the device function (on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit anyway). Below is using the latest drivedb.h. Drive was purchased 2016/08/30 from Amazon (United States).

/dev/sdc: Unknown USB bridge [0x1058:0x259d]
Please specify device type with the -d option.

Attachments are smartctl -x output after a short test, and USB descriptor data (if needed).
