| 33 | | ==== Documentation On Device Support ==== |
| 34 | | * [wiki:USB USB devices and smartmontools] - To access SMART functionality, smartmontools must be able to send ATA commands directly to the disk. |
| 35 | | * [wiki:NAS NAS devices and smartmontools] - Smartmontools can work also on ''Network Attached Storage'' (NAS) devices, if the appropiate functions are available there, e.g. on Dlink DNS-323 with [http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/ fonz firmware] |
| | 26 | * We moved our CVS-Repository to Subversion and adjusted the [http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/download.html#SVNInstall download instructions] accordingly. Christian Franke added a first feature which benefits from the change: If build from trunk, the first line of smartmontools output now reports the SVN revision date and number, e.g: {{{smartctl 5.39 2009-07-16 r2838 [i686-pc-linux-gnu] (local build)}}}. So if you send smartctl output, we can now identify the exact revision :-) |

| | 28 | * Our work in the field USB bridges goes on. Experimental support for [http://w3.sunplusit.com/english/products/storage/SPIF225A.aspx Sunplus USB bridges] is available now with new option {{{-d usbsunplus}}}. [http://www.jmicron.com/Product_JM20336.htm JMicron USB to (S)ATA bridges] with option {{{-d usbjmicron[,1]}}}. Thanks to the vendors for handing over the necessary specs. We are very interested in your test results with the new device type and collect all feedbacks in our Wiki-Page on [wiki:Supported_USB-Devices USB-Support]. Get ''current version'' from [http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/download.html#SVNInstall SVN] and tell us about your experiences on the [https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/smartmontools-support smartmontools-support mailing list]. Binaries for Windows are available [http://smartmontools-win32.dyndns.org/smartmontools/ here]. |

| | 30 | * Some newer Seagate/Maxtor disks risk a sudden death due to buggy firmware: 7200.11, ES.2, Diamondmax 22. See the [http://seagate.custkb.com/seagate/crm/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=207931 Details], reported by Seagates customer support. |

| | 32 | * Thanks to contributor Jordan Hargrave, smartmontools now have support for MegaRAID controllers. Get ''current version'' from [http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/download.html#SVNInstall SVN] and use {{{-d megaraid,N}}} to inspect disk N behind the controller. |
