Description

Trying to use smartctl to access a truecrypt mounted drive in Windows using the drive letter. Smartctl says "Function not implemented". When I use the device name (e.g. /dev/sdb) everything works fine. See sample output below.

C:\>smartctl --health F:
smartctl 6.2 2013-07-26 r3841 [x86_64-w64-mingw32-win7-sp1] (sf-6.2-1)

There is no easy way to determine the physical drive number behind a drive emulated by Truecrypt.

Feel free to reopen this ticket if you could provide information or sample source code for this purpose.

Same problem applies for drives behind RAID controllers.
