Manish,
So you come back now as "Zambeel", is this to impress me?
Or has Zambeel modified "MY" driver and is shipping the driver with out
the source code? Since you are using "smartsuite-2.1", it is not designed
to submit 48-bit commands.
Well do you know what a "General Purpose Log" is ?
This is where the 48-bit logging features are stored.
See during one of the 6 annual meetings each year, the commitee debated
the issue of how to deal with 48-bit logs. Given there was new class of
logs created for AV Streaming, we elected to use those and preserve as
much of the expected behavor in the legacy logs.
So if the error happened with a 28-bit DMA Read then the full log would be
present in the 28-bit logs, but the error happend with a 48-bit DMA Read,
and the result is stuffed into a 48-bit general purpose log.
You are using a 48-bit drive and issuing 28-bit Smart commands; therefore,
you can not extract the useful data being sought.
Remind me not to deploy Zambeel products to any of my customers.
Yeah "smartctl" does not work, but reading the correct 48-bit logs does.
All I stated was you are using the wrong tool to extract the needed
information.
