I have the following drive that is not in the database. When I try to monitor this drive, I get errors (tried 2 different models of this drive, and both error) when attempting to monitor the drive with offline SMART checks.

I receive these errors on the drives when attempting to do offline SMART checks: FailedReadSmartData FailedHealthCheck

All tests of the drive pass.

I decided to add autoscan functionality for drives on MegaSAS controllers. Main motivation for this was that devices on such controllers having random numbers, from 0 to ~250 and it is very annoying to write smartd configuration (i used shell + MegaCli in the past). There is no ioctl documentation provided, so i did patch based on MegaCli tool behavior (with strace and LD_PRELAOD for IOCTL) and FreeBSD driver sources which contain similar code. What this patch is doing:

• In autoscan mode, if megaraid_sas_ioctl is found in /proc/devices it is trying to identify SCSI host number with megasas controllers using sysfs (/sys/class/scsi_host/hostN/proc_name). If sysfs is not mounted it scans first 16 buses. I believe that native tool do the same.
• If controller is found i am getting device list using driver ioctl and adding them to device list

Code changes:

• megaraid.h updated to include constant/structures to get drive list
• set_fd added to linux_smart_device. I need this to override is_open check in megaraid.
• -d megaraid allows to specify devices in pseudo /dev/bus/N format. We can`t easy get drive name from the bus number, and also it is possible that drive name is not exists at all (unconfigured RAID).
• Added private functions get_dev_megasas, megasas_dcmd_cmd and megasas_pd_get_list to the linux_smart_interface.
• I disabled "MegaRAID SAT layer is reportedly buggy" error. Everything was fixed after chk_cond check was added. I am unable to reproduce problem with different hardware.
• I added set_info().dev_type = strprintf("megaraid,%d", tgt) to set device number in type. Without it --scan will show just -"d megaraid" devices. Not sure if this is correct.
• scsiata.cpp - set device type as sat+<oldname> if scsidev->get_dev_type() is not "scsi".
