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)

Standard Inquiry (36 bytes) failed [Function not implemented]
Retrying with a 64 byte Standard Inquiry
Standard Inquiry (64 bytes) failed [Function not implemented]
A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more '-T permissive' options.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
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.
