smartctl 7.1 doesn't show attributes on Seagate SAS drives but 6.6 does

Description

For this I'm using a Dell R720xd with an LSI 9211-8i HBA in IT Mode and a Seagate ST3300657SS.

I'm testing 7.1 using Debian Buster and 6.6 using Ubuntu Bionic because that is the default version they come with. If there are downstream code changes by the distribution responsible for this difference I apologize and will redirect my issue there.

Here is the result from Debian Buster

I realized I could also downgrade to 6.6 in Buster so here is the output from there as well.

The issue looks similar except this hasn't got a raid controller in the middle, it would interesting if that person could have tested their drive in HBA mode.

comment:4 by albundy, 4 years ago

I can confirm this is the same on a HBA
On 7.0 i get the correct returned data.
A SATA based drive going via the same HBA just a different SAS self reports fine

Edit:
I just interpreted your statement correctly and realised you were referring to what you had linked.

Replying to albundy: Yeah I was referring to the other post but also was hoping to see some other controllers showing the same thing, so thanks for that. I don't have any non Seagate drives to test but I did try going back to 7.0 r4883 and it's working correctly there.

I can confirm this is the same on a HBA
On 7.0 i get the correct returned data.

Please test r5074 if possible. See https://builds.smartmontools.org/ for source tarball and various binaries.

Can confirm this has fixed the issue.

Thanks for looking into it.
Also sorry for the delay never received a notification email of an update.
