DSM-G600, DNS-3xx and NSA-220 Hack Forum

Hi

Fonz kindly upgraded the version of smartmontools recently and I'm trying to read the SMART data on a connected USB-SATA drive enclosure. The device ID is 0x152d:0x2329 (JMicron) and is supported by smartctl. When I connect the USB enclosure to my Windows box running the same version of smartctl the following command works as expected and shows the drive's SMART data

smartctl -i -a sdc

Running this shows that smartctl has detected the "JMicron" chipset in the enclosure.

smartctl -i -a -d test sdc

On the DNS-323 I install a USB storage module and run the Linux equiv on the DNS-323 FFP build:

insmod usb-storage.ko
smartctl -i -a /dev/sdc

I get the serial number of the drive in the enclosure, then "Device does not support SMART".

smartctl -i -a -d usbjmicron /dev/sdc

Failed no drive connected.

smartctl -i -a -d usbjmicron,0 /dev/sdc
or
smartctl -i -a -d usbjmicron,1 /dev/sdc

Device and model show lots of seemingly random ASCII characters

How comes the Windows build works but this build doesn't

Please help me Mr Fonz it's driving me mad!

Just upgraded to smartmontools 5.40.1 but still have the same problem
I wonder if this is a driver issue with usb-storage.ko? Everything says the drive is a SCSI disk.

OK, so I've posted questions on the mailing list for smartmontools regarding my problem with not being able to use smartctl over USB from the DNS-323. They suggest it's probably because the kernel is too old to support it.

Any pointers as to what I can do to get smartctl working over USB on the NAS?

Thanks

Jamie
