With OpenBSD 4.8 the format of sysctl hw.disknames has changed, a patch is needed to handle the new format.

The quotes around the program path names in smartctl-run.bat and smartd-run.bat are missing. The files do not run correctly if installed into "Program Files".

I am running a linux headless server on a 8GB microdrive. (Seagate ST1.2 Series ST68022CF) The drive is recognised as S.M.A.R.T capable by the computer BIOS. When trying to run

smartctl -i /dev/sda

I get the following error

sudo smartctl -i /dev/sda

The same output with

The following are the manufacturer's specifications for the unit, which I believe clearly confirm this drive supports S.M.A.R.T comands in ATA mode: ​http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/manuals/external/photo/100375652a.pdf
