A very nice addition / release to the kernel, S.M.A.R.T. working through
the ATA passthru.
smartmontools is going to have to be updated, but I can finally see the
temperature of my SATA drives!! Nice work Jeff!

What for?
Use "smartctl -d ata /dev/sda"
-ml
My mistake,
Was adding the option in the wrong place.
In the smartd.conf file, add the -d ata option here:
/dev/sda -d ata -H -l error -l selftest -t -I 194 -s (S/../.././02)
/dev/sdb -d ata -H -l error -l selftest -t -I 194 -s (S/../.././02)
/dev/hde -H -l error -l selftest -t -I 194 -s (S/../.././02)
Works now.
Thanks,
Justin.

Its not perfect:
grover:/poola/home/ed# smartctl -d ata /dev/sda
smartctl version 5.34 [x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-5 Bruce Allen
Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/
smartctl has problems but hddtemp works
grover:/poola/home/ed# hddtemp /dev/hda
/dev/hda: Maxtor 6Y160P0: 25?C
grover:/poola/home/ed# hddtemp /dev/sda
/dev/sda: Maxtor 6L250S0: 29?C

What are the problems? Your output gives us no clue...

That _is_ the clue, no output ;)

Perhaps if the poster provided a useful command line to smartctl, it
would do useful work.
If you don't provide a command to smartctl, it won't do much of anything:

Jeff,
You are quite right. I rather blindly followed the example from Grant which just specified
the device type. Adding a -a gets lots of info.
Thanks,
