> .... since all the drives, cables and controllers are identical, I'm tryi= ng to figure out if there is something *else* I should be looking into for = why smart would have an issue, but the rest of the OS has no issues with th= ese drives.=A0 (zfs is storing data, reports them all as online, etc). I lo= oked into the smartctl code, and there definitely is a carve out for FreeBS= D 8.1 or later, but I don't know enough about the new internals to know if = the is any kind of concern parsing more than 10 drives, etc. Use smartctl -h to get a usage summary $ sudo smartctl -d atacam -i /dev/ada11 smartctl 5.39.1 2010-01-28 r3054 [FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE amd64] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-10 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net =3D=3D=3D START OF INFORMATION SECTION =3D=3D=3D Model Family:=A0 =A0=A0=A0Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 family Device Model:=A0 =A0=A0=A0ST31500341AS ... Also, out of curiosity, are you using the ahci(4) driver or the siis(4)=20 driver? Thank you - fantastic! I tried the -d atacam before I sent the email, but I obviously specified it= incorrectly because I wrote the message anyway. This solves the issue, not= sure why it can't detect it. To answer your follow up question, I started using just siis, but added ahc= i to allow ahci functions. As far as I can tell, AHCI functions add on top = of the SIIS ones. The boot compact flash (not on the SIIS card) converted t= o ada from ad once ahci was loaded. DJ =0A=0A=0A
