JMicron 152d:0578 USB 3.0 Bridge needs -d sat

[János Szigetvári]

Similarly to item #338 (ticket) I have an Orico USB 3.0 SATA enclosure that has a JMicron chipset.

This ID is listed in drivedb.h but it is not useable with -d usbjmicron (failed: No device connected)

It works fine with -d sat.

I believe this is already fixed in the latest release, but when I do an update-smart-drivedb, my 6.6 smartmontools will normally not get that updated drive information.

Please provide bcdDevice information (e.g. under Linux see lsusb output). This is required to distinguish old and new firmware.

... but when I do an update-smart-drivedb, my 6.6 smartmontools will normally not get that updated drive information.

The update-smart-drivedb tool from 6.6 should still work. The 6.6 branch​ is still maintained.

Yes, sure. I have two such enclusres, both show the same output:

Further investigation shows that this USB ID was already added in r4482 which should be included in smartmontools 6.6 (r4594).

Please try smartctl -P showall 0x152d:0x0578.

Output should be:

Drive found in smartmontools Database.  Drive identity strings:
MODEL:              0x152d:0x0578
FIRMWARE:           (any)
match smartmontools Drive Database entry:

Replying to Christian Franke:

Hi Christian,

Yes, it seems to be working now. Thank you for your help!

Reopen to change resolution.

Already fixed in r4482.
