42smartmontools controls and monitors storage devices using the
43Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology System (S.M.A.R.T.)
44built into ATA and SCSI Hard Drives.  This is used to check the
45reliability of the hard drive and to predict drive failures.  The suite
46is derived from the smartsuite package, and contains two utilities.  The
47first, smartctl, is a command line utility designed to perform simple
48S.M.A.R.T. tasks.  The second, smartd, is a daemon that periodically
49monitors smart status and reports errors to syslog.  The package is
50compatible with the ATA/ATAPI-5 specification.  Future releases will be
51compatible with the ATA/ATAPI-6 andATA/ATAPI-7 specifications.  The
52package is intended to incorporate as much "vendor specific" and
53"reserved" information as possible about disk drives.  man smartctl and
54man smartd will provide more information. The most recent versions of
55this package and additional information can be found at the URL:
56http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/

224* Fri Sep 10 2004 Bruce Allen  <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
225  [BA] smartctl: ATA disks, if SMART ATTRIBUTE THRESHOLDS page has ID
226       errors with some Attributes having NULL IDs, print Attribute
227       info anyway (but issuing a warning to the user).
228  [DG] [SCSI] Decode Last n error events log page; decode track following
229       and positioning errors [Hitachi]
230  [EM] FreeBSD: another tweak, __packed__ introduced in Version 5.0040
231  [EM] Cleaner tweak of fixes for FreeBSD 4.x.
232  [EM] Fix compilation errors under FreeBSD 4.x, as it is still using
233       and old GCC
234  [EM] Remove 3ware/FreeBSD specific files and just include pieces we need
235  [DG] Add logic in smartd to detect 3ware, Marvell controllers and SATA
236       disks behind an ATA-SCSI simulator (in Linux). If specific device
237       types are not given and they are picked in a general SCSI device
238       scan then warn and skip.
239  [GG] insert correct path to smartd into smartd's init script
240  [BA] Changed all default paths in documentation to reflect /usr/local as
241       default path prefix.  This affects on-line man pages, primarily.
242  [DS] Added support for OpenBSD.
243  [BA] Added another environment variable SMART_FULLMESSAGE set by
244       the smartd mailing feature, and modified examplescripts/Example1
245       to illustrate it.
246  [BA] Fixed potentially misleading messages of the form:
247       XXX failed: success
248  [DG] emit warning if SATA disk detected using libata in Linux; then exit
249  [PW] Added Seagate U10 family, Hitachi Travelstar 7K60, Fujitsu MHR2020AT,
250       and QUANTUM FIREBALLP AS20.5 to knowndrives table.
251  [DG] Detect 3ware and Marvell controllers from SCSI INQUIRY vendor string
252       and suggest usage of appropriate '-d' argument in smartctl.
253  [LW] Tested the RELEASE_5_33_WITH_MARVELL_SUPPORT branch on
254       actual Marvell 88SX5041 hardware, with success.
255       Merged into HEAD.
256  [BA] Fixed nasty DEVICESCAN bug
257  [BA] Checked in RELEASE_5_33_WITH_MARVELL_SUPPORT branch with
258       some Marvell support.
259  [BA] Additional modifications of Ed's controller scheme.  Fixed
260       broken 3ware support under linux, problems with scanning
261       devices in smartd, and other small problems.
262  [EM] Minor change to FreeBSD inclusion of 'twe' include files.  Add
263       code to check if they exising in /usr/include/sys to use those
264       in preference to ones added here
265  [EM] Very preliminary support attempt for 3Ware controllers under
266       FreeBSD. Also, switched 'escalade_type/escalade_port' to
267       'controler_type/controller_port' and moved away from
268       'tryata/tryscsi' to using new 'controller*' variables to
269       determine which controller type (ATA/SCSI/3Ware) to use.
270  [GK] Added initscript support for Darwin.
271  [CF] Windows smartd: Added ability to run smartd as a windows service,
272       including new commands "smartd install ..." and "smartd remove"
273       to install and remove the service registry entry.
274  [BA] smartd: warn user if -s regexp regular expression contains
275       characters other than 0123456789.*()|+?[-]{}:=SLCO since such
276       characters are 'suspicous' and may indicate a poorly formed
277       regexp.  Extended regular expression gurus: can this list be
278       reduced somewhat?
279  [CF] Fixed bug in Windows smartd: Missing close of config file when
280       configuration is reloaded by smartd daemon.
281  [CF] Windows smartd: Added mail warning feature using the "Blat"
282       (http://blat.sourceforge.net/) mailer as a default.
283  [PW] Added Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 5120 Ultra ATA 33 series and TOSHIBA
284       MK3017GAP to knowndrives table.
285  [CF] Added fixes to build smartmontools on old Linux systems
286       (libc < 6, Kernel 2.0.x).
287  [BA] Added ATA minor version identity strings for latest ATA specification
288       updates: ATA/ATAPI-7 T13 1532D revision 4a and ATA/ATAPI-6 published,
289       ANSI INCITS 361-2002
290  [PW] Added Hitachi Travelstar 5K80 family and Fujitsu MHTxxxxAH family to
291       knowndrives table.
292  [EM] Fix up compilation under FreeBSD < 5.x
293  [PW] Added QUANTUM FIREBALL EX3.2A and missing Western Digital Caviar SE
294       drives to knowndrives table.
295  [BA] Modified Hitachi Travelstar 80GN family regexp in drive database.
296       Thanks to [GK/CF] for problem & solution.
297  [GK] Added os_darwin.[ch]
298  [PW] Added the following drives to the knowndrives table: IBM Travelstar
299       48GH, 30GN, and 15GN family; IBM Deskstar 37GP and 34GXP family;
300       Western Digital WDC WD272AA; Maxtor DiamondMax D540X-4D family;
301       TOSHIBA MK2016GAP, MK2018GAP, MK2018GAS, MK2023GAS; and
302       QUANTUM FIREBALL ST3.2A
303  [BA] smartd/smarctl now print build HOST/OS information as part
304       of startup slogan.  This should make it slightly easier to
305       read bug reports from users.
306  [RZ] Fixed the DEVICESCAN to do what it was supposed to do - give
307       error message unless scanning is in progress. 
308  [BA] Update documentation to describe 3ware character devices. Better
309       error detection for missing/malfunctioning devices behind 3ware
310       controllers. Now pack 3ware ioctl structures explicitly.
311  [BA] For ATA devices that support LBA mode, print capacity as part
312       of smartctl --info
313  [RZ] Made DEVICESCAN quiet about non-existing devices unless debug
314       is on.
315  [DG] treat "unit attention" SCSI warning as try again in some contexts
316       (test unit ready and mode sense)
317  [BA] on drives that store max/min rather than min/max, get order
318       correct in printing temp.
319  [BA] fixed typo in 'smartctl -h' output.  Thanks to Gabor Z. Papp.
320  [BA] linux: clean-up to 3ware/AMCC support; dynamically create
321       or fix /dev/tw[ae][0-15] device node entries if they don't
322       exist or are incorrect. One can now use the character devices
323       /dev/twe[0-15] OR /dev/sd? for 3ware 6000/7000/8000 series
324       cards.  One must use /dev/twa[0-15] for 3ware 9000 series cards.
325       Note that selective self-tests now work via /dev/tw[ae] devices.
326       Next step: documentation.
327  [BA] linux: experimental "support" for 3ware/AMCC 9000 series
328       controllers that use the 3w-9xxx driver.  This will be in a
329       state of flux for a few days.  Note that this requires the
330       character interface /dev/twa[0-15].
331  [DG] linux: extend general SCSI OS interface to use the SG_IO ioctl. If
332       not available, use the older SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND ioctl.
333  [KS] Solaris/x86: fixed system identification problem in configure
334       script.  Thanks to Stuart Swales.
335
336* Mon Jul 5 2004 Bruce Allen  <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
337  [BA] Update link to revised/updated IBM Deskstar Firmware
338  [CF] Cygwin & Windows: Added missing ASPI manager initialization
339       with GetASPI32SupportInfo(). Thanks to Nikolai SAOUKH for pointing
340       this out and providing a patch.
341  [BA] modified smartd init script to work on whitebox (thanks to
342       Michael Falzon)
343  [BA] removed (reverted) additional Attribute definitions from
344       http://smart.friko.pl/attributes.php.  All (or most?) of these
345       appear to be return code values for the WD Digital Life Guard Utility.
346  [PW] Added Seagate Medalist 17242, 13032, 10232, 8422, and 4312 to
347       knowndrives table.  Added missing Seagate U Series 5 drives.
348  [PW] Added the following QUANTUM models to knowndrives table:
349       FIREBALL EX6.4A, FIREBALLP AS10.2, FIREBALLP AS40.0, FIREBALL CR4.3A,
350       FIREBALLP LM15, FIREBALLP LM30, and FIREBALLlct20 30
351  [PW] Added missing Western Digital Protege drives to knowndrives table.
352  [PW] Added Maxtor DiamondMax 40 ATA 66 series and DiamondMax 40 VL Ultra
353       ATA 100 series to knowndrives table.
354  [PW] Added the following Hitachi/IBM drives to knowndrives table:
355       HITACHI_DK14FA-20B, Travelstar 40GNX series, Travelstar 4LP series,
356       and Travelstar DK23XXB series.  Added the missing Travelstar 80GN
357       drives.
358  [PW] Added Fujitsu MPB series and MPG series to knowndrives table.  Added
359       the missing Fujitsu MHSxxxxAT drives.
360  [KS] Solaris: added workaround for dynamic change of time-zone.
361  [KS] Solaris: fixed problem that autogen.sh cannot detect absence of
362       auto* tools.
363  [BA] smartd: added time-zone bug information to man page.
364       Reverted CF code for _WIN32 case.
365  [CF] Cygwin & Windows: Added better error messages on IDE/ATA device
366       open error.
367  [BA] added additional Attribute definitions from
368       http://smart.friko.pl/attributes.php
369  [BA] smartd: reworked TimeZone bug workaround so it is only invoked
370       for glibc.  Note: this might not be right -- a similar bug may
371       exist in other platform's libcs.
372  [DG] SCSI smartmontools documentation updated [2004/5/6]. See:
373       http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/smartmontools_scsi.html

375
376* Tue May 4 2004 Bruce Allen  <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
377  [DG] move SCSI device temperature and start-stop log page output
378       (smartctl) into --attributes section (was in --info section).
379  [GG] change default installation location to /usr/local
380  [CF] Cygwin smartd: Fixed crash on access of SCSI devices after fork().
381  [PW] Added TOSHIBA MK4018GAS and the following Maxtor drive families
382       to knowndrives table: DiamondMax D540X-4G, Fireball 541DX,
383       DiamondMax 3400 Ultra ATA, DiamondMax Plus 6800 Ultra ATA 66.
384  [PW] Added missing Maxtor DiamondMax 16, DiamondMax D540X-4K, and
385       DiamondMax Plus 45 Ulta ATA 100 drives to knowndrives table.
386  [PW] Added ExcelStor J240, Hitachi Travelstar 80GN family, Fujitsu
387       MHTxxxxAT family, and IBM Deskstar 25GP and 22GXP families to
388       knowndrives table.
389  [CF] Cygwin smartd: Added workaround for missing SIGQUIT via keyboard:
390       To exit smartd in debug mode, type CONTROL-C twice.
391  [BA] smartctl: printing of the selective self-test log is now
392       controlled by a new option: -l selective
393  [BA] Added entries for Samsung firmware versions -25 to -39 based
394       on latest info about firmware bug fixes.
395  [PW] Added Seagate U Series X family, Seagate U8 family, and Seagate

400       warning (and send an email, if so configured) if the raw count
401       is nonzero.  These are controlled by new Directives: -C and -U.
402       Currently they are enabled by default.
403  [CF] Added option -c FILE, --configfile=FILE to smartd to specify
404       an alternate configuration FILE or '-' for standard input.
405  [KS] configure.in now searches for -lnsl and -lsocket for Solaris.
406  [CF] Win32/native smartd: Added thread to combine several syslog output
407       lines into one single event log entry.
408  [CF] Win32 smartd: Added DEVICESCAN for SCSI/ASPI devices.
409  [GG] Use gethostbyname() the get the DNS domain since getdomainname()
410       returns the NIS domain when sending mails from smartd.
411  [GG] smartd.init.in: pass smartd_opts to smartd on startup, read distribution
412       specific configuration files if found
413  [SS] smartctl: added NetBSD support for Selective Self-tests.
414  [BA] smartd.conf example configuration file now has all examples
415       commented out except for 'DEVICESCAN'.
416  [CF] Win32/native smartd: Added ability to display warning "emails"
417       as message box by "-m msgbox" directive. With "-m sysmsgbox",
418       a system modal (always on top) message box is shown.
419  [BA] smartctl: printing of self-test log for disks that support
420       Selective self-testing now shows the status of the (optional)
421       read-scan after the selective self test.  Also, changed format
422       in printing self-test log to print failing LBA in base 10 not
423       base 16 (more compatible with kernel error messages).  Also,
424       in printing SMART error log, print timestamps in format
425       days+hours+minutes+seconds.
426  [CF] Win32 smartd: Added ability to log to stdout/stderr
427       (-l local1/2). Toggling debug console still works
428       if stdout is redirected.
429  [BA] smartctl: selective self-test log, print current status
430       in a  more detailed way.  Allow writing of selective self-test
431       log provided that no other self-test is underway.
432  [BA] Linux: eliminated dependency on kernel tree hdreg.h.
433  [BA] smartctl: -l selftest option now prints Selective self-test
434       log in addition to the normal self-test log.
435       Added additional options (-t pending, -t afterselect) to
436       control remaining Selective Self-test capabilities.  Tested
437       with several Maxtor disks. Modified error message printing
438       so that munged option messages print at the end not the
439       start of output.
440  [CF] Added daemon support to Win32 native version of smartd.
441       The daemon can be controlled by commands similar to initd
442       scripts: "smartd status|stop|reload|restart|sigusr1|sigusr2".
443  [CF] Added minor support for option "-l local[0-7]" to Win32 native
444       (not Cygwin) version of smartd. If specified, the log output
445       is written to file "./smartd[1-7]?.log" instead of event log.
446  [BA] Added Selective Self-test to smartctl (-t selective,M-N).
447       Currently only supported under Linux; Solaris, NetBSD, FreeBSD
448       and Windows developers must add WRITE LOG functionality to
449       os_*.c
450  [BA] Added workaround for an annoying glibc bug: if you change
451       timezones, (eg, flying with a laptop from USA to Europe)
452       localtime() does not notice this in a running
453       executable, so time that appears in the system log (syslog!)
454       will be incorrect.  See
455       http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=48184
456       for additional examples of this bug.
457  [DG] Set explicit timeouts for SCSI commands (most default to 6 seconds).
458       Previously a 0 second timeout was meant to be interpreted as a
459       default timeout but the FreeBSD port had a problem in this area.
460  [CF] Fixed un-thread-safe exit signal handler for Win32
461  [BA] Fixed un-thread-safe exit signal handler pointed out
462       by CF.
463  [BA] Changed configure script to eliminate warnings under
464       Solaris from sys/int_type.h conflicts with int64.h
465       Added header files for umask to smartd.c.
466  [BA] Man page format change from Werner LEMBERG.  " " changed to \&
467  [CF] Added os_win32/syslogevt.* event message file tool for Win32
468       smartd (native+cygwin). May also be useful for other cygwin
469       programs writing to syslog().
470  [CF] Added Win32 version of smartd
471  [CF] Merged RELEASE_5_26_WIN32_BRANCH
472  [BA] Made some changes to man page markup suggested by
473       Richard Verhoeven to work around bugs in man2html.
474       Tested not to break anything under Linux and Solaris.
475  [CF] Moved PrintOut() from utility.c to smart{ctl,d}.c to avoid
476       syslog() output of smartctl.
477  [BA] Grew worried that some time-zone names could be very long (eg,
478       Mitteleuropaische Zeit) and put date string lengths into a
479       single macro in utility.c
480  [EM] Updated os_freebsd.c to handle older versions of FreeBSD in a
481       more appropriate/obvious fashion.
482  [EM] Modified autogen.sh as FreeBSD installs automake 1.7 as
483       'automake17' and NOT 'automake-1.7'
484
485* Sat Mar 6 2004 Bruce Allen  <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
486  [PW] Added QUANTUM FIREBALLlct15 30, QUANTUM FIREBALLlct20 40, and
487       Maxtor 6Y060P0 (DiamondMax Plus 9 60GB) to knowndrives table.
488  [PW] Added Maxtor MaXLine II family to knowndrives table (thanks to
489       Brett Russ for submitting the patch).
490  [BA] Added remaining read/write commands to detailed list of
491       error log commands that have text descriptions of problem
492       printed.  For commands that support it, print number of failed
493       sectors at problem LBA.
494  [BA] Made SuSE section of smartd init script more SuSE 9 compatible.
495       Thanks to Hans-Peter Jansen.
496  [CF] Windows smartd: Added IDE/ATA device scan
497       Added windows device names to smartctl.8.in, smartd.8.in
498  [BA] smartctl/smartd: user-provided '-F samsung' and '-F samsung2'
499       command line options/Directives did NOT over-ride preset values
500       unless user specified '-P ignore'.  Now they will always over-ride
501       preset values from the database.
502  [BA] Added error decoding for a few more READ and WRITE commands.
503  [PW] Added Maxtor MaXLine Plus II, Western Digital Caviar SE (Serial ATA)
504       series, Hitachi Deskstar 7K250 series, and Ultra ATA 66 models of
505       the Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 40 series to knowndrives table.
506  [BA] Added Maxtor Diamondmax 250 GB drives to database.  Note that
507       these model numbers are not listed in Maxtor documentation, but
508       they exist.
509  [BA] Removed the 'contact developers' phrase from the Samsung disk
510       warning messages.
511  [PW] Added TOSHIBA MK2017GAP, IBM Deskstar 14GXP and 16GP series,
512       Fujitsu MPC series, Seagate Barracuda ATA III family, and missing
513       Seagate Barracuda U Series drives to knowndrives table
514  [BA] smartd: wrong loglevel for message: Configuration file
515       /etc/smartd.conf parsed.  Changed to LOG_INFO from LOG_CRIT.
516       Thanks to  Emmanuel CHANTREAU for the report.
517  [CF] Checked in development version of windows code base.
518
519* Tue Feb 24 2004 Bruce Allen  <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
520  [BA] smartd: configure script did not set correct directory to search for
521       smartd.conf based on --prefix argument to ./configure.  Thanks to
522       GG for identifying the problem and fix.
523  [BA] make clean now removes man pages (generated from *.in) files as well
524       as object files.
525  [EM] Correct copying of sense data in FreeBSD SCSI implementation. Thanks
526       to Sergey Svishchev for noticing the bug.
527  [BA] On solaris, wrong warning message if no ATA support.  Warning message
528       concerns 3ware controller, not ATA.
529  [SS] Added SCSI support for NetBSD.
530  [BA] on big-endian linux machines, fixed interpretation of HDIO_GET_IDENTITY
531       to correctly identify ATAPI bit (was byte swapped).  This should
532       eliminate some SYSLOG noise if user queries a packet device (eg, CD
533       ROM or DVD reader).
534  [PW] Removed warning for IBM Deskstar 40GV & 75GXP series drives with
535       A5AA/A6AA firmware.  Thanks to Gerald Schnabel.
536  [PW] Added Toshiba TOS MK3019GAXB SUN30G to knowndrives table
537  [PW] Added Western Digital Caviar AC12500, AC24300, AC25100, AC36400,
538       and AC38400 to knowndrives table
539  [BA] When printing ATA error log, print the LBA at which READ
540       or WRITE commands failed.
541  [BA] Changed syntax of error message in smartctl
542  [BA] Added versioning info (-V options to smartd/smartctl) for
543       Solaris ATA module.
544
545* Thu Feb 12 2004 Bruce Allen  <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
546  [KS] Added ATA/IDE support for Solaris/SPARC (ATA/IDE not yet for
547       Solaris/x86).
548  [BA] 3ware controllers: documented that one can monitor any of the
549       physical disks from any of the 3ware /dev/sd? logical devices.
550       Better warnings if querying a disk that does not exist.
551  [PW] Added Hitachi Travelstar DK23DA series, Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 40
552       series, Western Digital Caviar WDxxxAA, WDxxxBA, and WDxxxAB series
553       to knowndrives table
554  [BA] missing 'pragma pack' on ATA IDENIFY DEVICE structure may have
555       caused odd or incorrect results on 64-bit machines.
556  [BA] smartctl/smartd allow inspection of self-test and error logs even
557       if disk firmware claims that these don't exist.  This is needed
558       for some Maxtor disks whose firmware does not indicate log support
559       even though the disk DOES support it.
560  [BA] Improved porting instructions and documentation in os_generic.c
561  [PW] Add Western Digital Caviar WD136AA and SAMSUNG SP40A2H (RR100-07
562       firmware) to knowndrives table.
563  [EM] FreeBSD: remove extra definition of FreeNonZero
564  [BA] smartctl: the -q silent option was printing output for some
565       error conditions.  Fixed.  Will rename relevant variables to help
566       avoid these errors in the future.
567  [SS] NetBSD port added.
568  [BA] more sensible error messages for devfs and devfs-like systems.
569       Instead of saying that the DIRECTORY does not exist, say that
570       the DEVICE does not exist.
571  [BA] smartd: added -n Directive, to prevent disk spin-up depending
572       upon the power mode (SLEEP, STANDBY, or IDLE).
573  [PW] Added Maxtor DiamondMax 20 VL series, Fujitsu MPF series,
574       Maxtor DiamondMax 36 series, Maxtor DiamondMax 4320 series, and
575       Maxtor DiamondMax 536DX series to knowndrives table.
576  [BA] many warning messages now give the file name AND VERSION
577  [BA] smartd: when the user provides multiple address recipients
578       to the '-m' Directive in a comma-delineated list, the commas
579       are stripped out before passing the list of addresses to the
580       mailer program. (Thanks to Calin A. Culianu for pointing this out
581       and providing a patch.)
582  [BA] smartd: when the '-M exec path' Directive is used, any stdout OR
583       stderr output from the executable "path" is assumed to indicate a
584       problem, and is echoed to SYSLOG.
585  [BA] Added all missing IBM/Hitachi Deskstar 180GXP models to knowndrives
586       table.
587  [PW] Added some missing IBM/Hitachi Deskstar 120GXP models to knowndrives
588       table.
589  [PW] Added IBM Travelstar 14GS to knowndrives table.
590  [PW] Modified knowndrives table to match entire Hitachi Travelstar
591       DK23BA and DK23EA series of drives (thanks to Norikatsu Shigemura
592       for submitting the patch).
593  [PW] Added some missing Fujitsu MPE series drives to knowndrives table.
594  [PW] Added TOSHIBA MK4019GAX, TOSHIBA MK6409MAV, and QUANTUM
595       FIREBALLlct15 20 to knowndrives table.
596  [EM] Fixup example command output for FreeBSD
597  [PW] Added Maxtor DiamondMax 80 family to knowndrives table.
598  [EM] Catch up FreeBSD code to switch PROJECTHOME to PACKAGE_HOMEPAGE
599       macros.
600  [BA] smartd: now watches stdout/stderr when trying to run mail, mailx
601       or mail warning script, and reports any output to SYSLOG.  This
602       gives a clearer error message if something is wrong.
603  [BA] smartd: Solaris init script modified to accomodate grep that
604       lacks '-q' quiet option.  Also check for running process to kill
605       on stop.
606  [PW] Added some missing Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 and 7200.7 Plus drives
607       to knowndrives table.
608  [PW] Added Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 60 family and Seagate U Series 5 20413
609       to knowndrives table.
610  [BA] smartd: under Solaris, made default mailer be 'mailx' not
611       'mail', since Solaris 'mail' does not accept a '-s' argument.
612       A workaround for Solaris users of earlier versions is to
613       have '-M exec /bin/mailx' in their smartd.conf config file.
614  [DG] some SCSI controllers don't like odd length transfers so make
615       sure LOG SENSE transfers are rounded up to an even number when
616       and odd length is reported (i.e. there is a double fetch, the
617       first to find the length, the second gets the data)
618  [BA] smartd man pages: under Solaris, correct section numbers in the
619       'See also' section.
620  [KS/BA] smartd man page: describe how to set Solaris syslog.conf
621       file to catch all messages.  Give correct Solaris SYSLOG default
622       path /var/adm/messages in man pages.
623  [BA] smartd: incorporated Debian startup script submitted by user.
624  [BA] smartctl: modified printing of self-test log entry number.  Seagate
625       firmware can leave 'holes' in the self-test log while a test is
626       actually running.  We now print entry numbers consistently in this
627       case, not assuming that entries are contiguous.
628  [PW] Added QUANTUM FIREBALL CX10.2A and Western Digital Caviar AC23200L
629       to knowndrives table.
630  [PW] Added QUANTUM FIREBALLlct20 20 to knowndrives table.
631  [PW] Added Maxtor DiamondMax Plus D740X family to knowndrives table.
632  [PW] Added IBM Travelstar 32GH, 30GT, and 20GN family to knowndrives
633       table.
634  [BA] Slackware init script modified to search for /etc/slackware-version
635       rather than /etc/slackware-release.
636  [PW] Added Seagate Barracuda ATA II family and TOSHIBA MK4019GAXB to
637       knowndrives table.
638  [GG] explain howto use autoreconf in autogen.sh
639  [KS] Makefile.am/configure.in: changed manual page sections for
640       Solaris.
641  [BA] smartd: reduced number of scheduled self-test messages if
642       test already run in current hour.
643  [PW] Added Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 8 family to knowndrives table.
644  [BA] linux: check for linux/hdreg.h.  If it's there, use it. If
645       not, provide the necessary definitions ourselves.
646  [PW] Removed warning for IBM Deskstar 40GV & 75GXP series drives
647       with TXAOA5AA firmware
648  [PW] Added IBM Travelstar 25GS, 18GT, and 12GN family to knowndrives
649       table.
650  [PW] Added IBM/Hitachi Travelstar 60GH & 40GN family to knowndrives
651       table.
652  [BA] smartd: made '-s' Directive more efficient.  Now store
653       compiled regex, and re-use.  If device lacks certain self-test
654       capabilities, track it and don't try again.
655  [BA] smartd: made memory allocation for device lists completely
656       dynamic (eliminating compile-time maximum length constants).
657  [PW] Removed warning for SAMSUNG SP0802N with TK100-23 firmware
658  [PW] Added Seagate Barracuda ATA IV family to knowndrives table.
659  [BA] smartd: reduce per-device memory footprint by making
660       mail-warning info dynamically allocated.  Also remove
661       potential memory leak if use has -m Directive twice and
662       keeps reloading the config file (highly unlikely this would
663       ever be noticed!) 
664  [DG] smartd: added SCSI scheduled self-tests (Background
665       short or extended).
666  [BA] smartd: can now run scheduled offline immediate and
667       self-tests.  See man page and -s Directive for details.
668  [GG] don't include manpages in make-dist-tarball.
669  [BA] smartctl: on-line examples given with -h are now correct
670       for solaris and linux, but wrong for freebsd.  Ed?
671  [BA] smartd: man page now explains device scanning for solaris as
672       well as linux and freebsd.
673  [BA] smartd/smartctl: man pages now report correct CVS tag release
674       date, and executables '-V' options reports more build info.
675
676* Sat Nov 29 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
677  [BA] Improved user messages that appear from 'make install'
678  [PW] Removed warning for SAMSUNG SP1213N with firmware TL100-23
679  [BA] incorporated SuSE init script from user.
680  [DG] if SCSI device is read only, then open it read only.
681  [BA] when compiled on non-supported system (NOT linux, freebsd or solaris) then
682       the run-time error messages now clearly say 'your system is not supported'
683       and give clear directions.
684  [BA] ./configure script now works correctly on SuSE linux boxes
685  [BA] minor improvements to man pages
686  [BA] simplified detection of packet (ATAPI, CD) devices.
687  [BA] init script (redhat, mandrake, yellowdog) now uses correct
688       strings for translation and is slightly more standard.
689  [DG] smartctl: output scsi Seagate vendor pages for disks (not tapes)
690* Wed Nov 19 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
691  [DG] smartd/smartctl: changed scsiClearControlGLTSD() to
692       scsiSetControlGLTSD() with an 'enabled' argument so '-S on'
693       and '-S off' work for SCSI devices (if changing GLTSD supported).
694  [BA] smartd/smartctl: wired in scsiClearControlGLTSD(). Could still
695       use a corresponding Set function.  Left stubs for this purpose.
696  [DG] scsicmds: added scsiClearControlGLTSD() [still to be wired in]
697  [BA] smartctl: make SCSI -T options behave the same way as the
698       ATA ones.
699  [DG] smartctl: output scsi transport protocol if available
700  [DG] scsi: stop device scan in smartd and smartctl if badly formed
701       mode response [heuristic to filter out USB devices before we
702       (potentially) lock them up].
703  [BA] smartd: deviceclose()->CloseDevice(). Got rid of SCSIDEVELOPMENT
704       macro-enabled code.  Added -W to list of gcc specific options to
705       always enable. Made code clean for -W warnings.
706  [PW] Added Maxtor DiamondMax VL 30 family to knowndrives table.
707  [DG] scsi: add warning (when '-l error' active) if Control mode page
708       GLTSD bit is set (global disable of saving log counters)
709  [DG] scsi: remember mode sense cmd length. Output trip temperature
710       from IE lpage (IBM extension) when unavailable from temp lpage.
711  [BA] smartd: for both SCSI and ATA now warns user if either
712       the number of self-test errors OR timestamp of most
713       recent self-test error have increased.
714  [DG] smartctl: output Seagate scsi Cache and Factory log pages (if
715       available) when vendor attributes chosen
716  [DG] smartd: add scsiCountFailedSelfTests() function.
717  [DG] Do more sanity checking of scsi log page responses.
718  [BA] smartd: now warns user if number of self-test errors has
719       increased for SCSI devices.
720  [BA] smartd: warn user if number of ATA self-test errors increases
721       (as before) OR if hour time stamp of most recent self-test
722       error changes.
723  [DG] More checks for well formed mode page responses. This has the side
724       effect of stopping scans on bad SCSI implementations (e.g. some
725       USB disks) prior to sending commands (typically log sense) that
726       locks them up.
727  [PW] Added Western Digital Caviar family and Caviar SE family to
728       knowndrives table.
729  [BA] smartd: added -l daemon (which is the default value if -l
730       is not used).
731  [PW] Added Seagate Barracuda ATA V family to knowndrives table.
732  [BA] smartd: added additional command line argument -l FACILITY
733       or --logfacility FACILITY.  This can be used to redirect
734       messages from smartd to a different file than the one used
735       by other system daemons.
736  [PW] Added Seagate Barracuda 7200.7, Western Digital Protege WD400EB,
737       and Western Digital Caviar AC38400 to knowndrives table.
738  [BA] smartd: scanning should now also work correctly for
739       devfs WITHOUT traditional links /dev/hd[a-t] or /dev/sd[a-z].
740  [PW] Added Maxtor 4W040H3, Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 Plus,
741       IBM Deskstar 120GXP (40GB), Seagate U Series 20410,
742       Fujitsu MHM2100AT, MHL2300AT, MHM2150AT, and IBM-DARA-212000
743       to knowndrives table.
744  [PW] Added remaining Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 models to knowndrives
745       table.
746  [EM] smartd: If no matches found, then return 0, rather than an error
747       indication, as it just means no devices of the given type exist.
748       Adjust FreeBSD scan code to mirror Linux version.
749  [BA] smartd: made device scan code simpler and more robust. If
750       too many devices detected, warn user but scan as many
751       as possible.  If error in scanning, warn user but don't
752       die right away.
753  [EM] smartd: To keep as consistent as possible, migrate FreeBSD
754       devicescan code to also use glob(3). Also verified clean
755       compile on a 4.7 FreeBSD system.
756  [BA] smartd: Modified device scan code to use glob(3). Previously
757       it appeared to have trouble when scanning devices on an XFS
758       file system, and used non-public interface to directory
759       entries. Problems were also reported when /dev/ was on an
760       ext2/3 file system, but there was a JFS partition on the same
761       disk.
762  [BA] Clearer error messages when device scanning finds no suitable
763       devices.
764  [EM] FreeBSD: Fixup code to allow for proper compilation under
765       -STABLE branch.
766
767* Fri Oct 31 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
768- [BA] smartd: didn't close file descriptors of ATA packet devices
769       that are scanned. Fixed.
770- [BA] Added reload/report targets to the smartmontools init script.
771       reload: reloads config file
772       report: send SIGUSR1 to check devices now
773
774* Mon Oct 27 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
775- [EM] Fix compile issues for FreeBSD < 5-CURRENT.
776- [PW] Added Fujitsu MHM2200AT to knowndrives table.
777- [BA] To help catch bugs, clear ATA error structures before all
778       ioctl calls.  Disable code that attempted to time-out on SCSI
779       devices when they hung (doesn't work).
780- [BA] Documented STATUS/ERROR flags added by [PW] below.
781- [BA] Improved algorithm to recognize ATA packet devices. Should
782       no longer generate SYSLOG kernel noise when user tries either
783       smartd or smartctl on packet device (CD-ROM or DVD).  Clearer
784       warning messages from smartd when scanning ATA packet device.
785- [PW] Added TOSHIBA MK4025GAS to knowndrives table.
786- [PW] Added a textual interpretation of the status and error registers
787       in the SMART error log (ATA).  The interpretation is
788       command-dependent and currently only eight commands are supported
789       (those which produced errors in the error logs that I happen to
790       have seen).
791- [BA] added memory allocation tracking to solaris code.
792       Fixed solaris signal handling (reset handler to default
793       after first call to handler) by using sigset. Added
794       HAVE_SIGSET to configure.in
795- [CD] solaris port: added SCSI functionality to solaris
796       stubs.
797- [BA] smartd: attempt to address bug report about smartd
798       hanging on USB devices when scanning:
799       https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=107615
800       Set a timeout of SCSITIMEOUT (nominally 7 seconds) before
801       giving up.
802- [EM] smartd: DEVICESCAN will follow links in a devfs filesystem and
803       make sure the end point is a disc.  Update documentation, added
804       note about FreeBSD scanning
805- [BA] smartd: DEVICESCAN also looks for block devices in
806       /dev.  Updated documentation.  Now scans for up to
807       20 ATA devices /dev/hda-t rather than previous 12
808       /dev/hda-l.
809- [EM] smartd: mirror the FreeBSD DEVICESCAN logic for Linux,
810       so that smartd now scans only devices found in /dev/. Also,
811       make utility memory functions take a line number and file so
812       that we report errors with the correct location.
813- [GG] add a note about Debian bug #208964 to WARNINGS.
814- [BA] smartctl: -T verypermissive option broken.  Use
815       -T verpermissive until the next release, please.
816- [BA] Syntax mods so that code also compiles on Solaris using
817       Sun Workshop compiler.  Need -xmemalign 1i -xCC flags
818       for cc.
819
820* Wed Oct 15 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
821  [DK] Changed configure.in so -Wall is only included if gcc
822       is used (this is a gcc specific flag) and -fsignedchar
823       is not used at all (this is a gcc specific compiler
824       flag).
825  [BA] Modifications so that code now compiles under solaris. Now
826       all that's needed (:-) is to fill in os_solaris.[hc].  Added
827       os_generic.[hc] as guide to future ports.  Fixed -D option
828       of smartd (no file name).  Modified -h opt of smartd/smartctl
829       to work properly with solaris getopt().
830  [EM] Update MAN pages with notes that 3ware drives are NOT supported
831        under FreeBSD. Cleanup FreeBSD warning message handling.
832  [EM] FreeBSD only: Fix first user found bug....I guess I was making
833       the wrong assumption on how to convert ATA devnames to
834       channel/unit numbers.
835  [EM] Allow for option --enable-sample to append '.sample' to installed
836        smartd.conf and rc script files. Also, let rc script shell setting
837        be determined by configure
838  [EM] Minor autoconf update to include -lcam for FreeBSD
839  [EM] Add conditional logic to allow FreeBSD to compile pre-ATAng.
840        -- note, not tested
841        Add some documentation to INSTALL for FreeBSD.
842  [EM] Implement SCSI CAM support for FreeBSD.  NOTE: I am not an expert
843        in the use of CAM.  It seems to work for me, but I may be doing
844        something horribly wrong, so please exercise caution.
845  [EM] Switch over to using 'atexit' rather than 'on_exit' routine. This also
846        meant we needed to save the exit status elsewhere so our 'Goodbye'
847        routine could examine it.
848  [EM] Move the DEVICESCAN code to os specific files. Also moved some of the
849        smartd Memory functions to utility.c to make available to smartctl.
850  [EM] Code janitor work on os_freebsd.c.
851  [EM] Added os_freebsd.[hc] code.  Additional code janitor
852       work.
853  [BA] Code janitor working, moving OS dependent code into
854       os_linux.[hc].
855  [GG] conditionally compile os_{freebsd,linux}.o depending on
856       host architecture
857  [PW] Print estimated completion time for tests
858  [BA] Added -F samsung2 flag to correct firmware byte swap.
859       All samsung drives with *-23 firmware revision string.
860
861* Sun Oct 05 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
862- [GG] Fixed broken Makefile.am (zero length smartd.conf.5
863       was being created)
864- [FM] Improved Slackware init script added to /etc/smartd.initd
865
866* Fri Oct 03 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
867- [BA] smartctl: added '-T verypermissive' option which is
868       equivalent to giving '-T permissive' many times.
869- [BA] Try harder to identify from IDENTIFY DEVICE structure
870       if SMART supported/enabled.  smartd now does a more
871       thorough job of trying to assess this before sending
872       a SMART status command to find out for sure.
873- [BA] smartctl: it's now possible to override the program's
874       guess of the device type (ATA or SCSI) with -d option.
875- [BA] try hard to avoid sending IDENTIFY DEVICE to packet
876       devices (CDROMS).  They can't do SMART, and this generates
877       annoying syslog messages. At the same time, identify type
878       of Packet device.
879- [BA] smartctl: Can now use permissive option more
880       than once, to control how far to go before giving up.
881- [BA] smartd: if user asked to monitor either error or self-test
882       logs (-l error or -l selftest) WITHOUT monitoring any of the
883       Attribute values, code will SEGV.  For 5.1-18 and earlier,
884       a good workaround is to enable Auto offline (-o on).
885- [BA] smartctl: If enable auto offline command given, update auto
886       offline status before printing capabilities.
887- [GG] Make autotools build the default, remove autotools.diff
888- [GG] Add auto{conf,make} support, not enabled by default.
889- [BA] Eliminated #include <linux/hdreg.h> from code. This
890       should simplify porting to solaris, FreeBSD, etc. The
891       only linux-specific code is now isolated to three routines,
892       one for SCSI, one for Escalade, one for ATA.
893
894* Fri Aug 22 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
895- [BA] smartd: fixed serious bug - Attributes not monitored unless
896       user told smartd to ignore at least one of them!
897
898* Tue Aug 19 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
899- [BA] Default runlevels for smartd changed from 3 and 5 to
900       2, 3, 4, and 5.
901- [BA] Removed as much dynamic memory allocation as possible from
902       configuration file parsing. Reloading config file, even in
903       presence of syntax errors etc. should not cause memory leaks.
904- [PW] It is no longer permissible for the integer part (if any) of
905       arguments to --report and --device to be followed by non-digits.
906       For example, the "foo" in --report=ioctl,2foo was previously
907       ignored, but now causes an error.
908- [BA] smartd: added -q/--quit command line option to specify
909       under what circumstances smartd should exit.  The old
910       -c/--checkonce option is now obsoleted by this more
911       general-purpose option.
912- [BA] smartd now responds to a HUP signal by re-reading its
913       configuration file /etc/smartd.conf.  If there are
914       errors in this file, then the configuration file is
915       ignored and smartd continues to monitor the devices that
916       it was monitoring prior to receiving the HUP signal.
917- [BA] Now correctly get SMART status from disks behind 3ware
918       controllers, thanks to Adam Radford. Need 3w-xxxx driver
919       version 1.02.00.037 or later. Previously the smartmontools
920       SMART status always returned "OK" for 3ware controllers.
921- [BA] Additional work on dynamic memory allocation/deallocation.
922       This should have no effect on smartctl, but clears that way
923       for smartd to dynamically add and remove entries.  It should
924       also now be easier to modify smartd to re-read its config
925       file on HUP (which is easy) without leaking memory (which is
926       harder). The philosophy is that memory for data structures in
927       smartd is now allocated only on demand, the first time it
928       is needed.
929- [BA] smartd: finished cleanup.  Now use create/rm functions for
930       cfgentries and dynamic memory allocation almost everywhere.
931       Philosophy: aggresively try and provoke SEGV to help find
932       bad code.
933- [BA] Added SAMSUNG SV0412H to knowndrives table.
934- [BA] smartd: if DEVICESCAN used then knowndrives table might not set
935       the -v attributes correctly -- may have been the same for all
936       the drives.  Cleaned up some data structures and memory
937       allocation to try and ensure segvs if such problems are
938       introduced again.
939- [BA] Now allow -S on and -o on for the 3ware device type.  For these
940       commands to be passed through, the stock 3ware 3w-xxxx driver
941       must be patched (8 lines).  I'll post a patch on the smartmontools
942       home page after it's been tested by a few other people and 3ware
943       have had a chance to look it over.
944
945* Wed Aug 06 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
946- [BA] smartd - can now monitor ATA drives behind 3ware controllers.
947- [BA] smartd - changed some FATAL out of memory error messages from
948       syslog level LOG_INFO to LOG_CRIT.
949- [BA] smartctl - added code to look at ATA drives behind 3ware RAID
950       controllers using the 3w-xxxx driver.  Note that for technical
951       reasons related to the 3w-xxxx driver, the "Enable Autosave",
952       "Enable Automatic Offline" commands are not implemented.
953       I will add this to smartd shortly.
954- [BA] smartd - modified sleep loop, so that smartd no longer comes
955       on the run queue every second.  Instead, unless interrupted,
956       it sleeps until the next polling time, when it wakes up. Now
957       smartd also tries to wake up at exactly the right
958       intervals (nominally 30 min) even if the user has been sending
959       signals to it.
960- [GG] add Fujitsu MHN2300AT to vendoropts_9_seconds.
961- [EB] Fujitsu change in knowndrives ... match the whole MPD and
962       MPE series for vendoropts_9_seconds.
963- [BA] smartd bug, might cause segv if a device can not be opened. Was
964       due to missing comma in char* list.  Consequence is that email
965       failure messages might have had the wrong Subject: heading for
966       errorcount, FAILEDhealthcheck, FAILEDreadsmartdata, FAILEDreadsmarterrorlog,
967       FAILEDreadsmartsefltestlog, FAILEDopendevice were all displaced by
968       one.  And FAILEDopendevice might have caused a segv if -m was being
969       used as a smartd Directive.
970
971* Wed Jul 23 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
972- [BA] Cleaned up smartmontools.spec so that upgrading, removing
973       and other such operations correctly preserve running behavior
974       and booting behavior of smartd.
975- [BA] Improved formatting of ATA Error Log printout, and added
976       listing of names of commands that caused the error. Added
977       obsolete ATA-4 SMART feature commands to table, along with
978       obsolete SFF-8035i SMART feature command.
979- [PW] Added atacmdnames.[hc], which turn command register &
980       feature register pairs into ATA command names.
981- [BA] Added conveyance self-test.  Some code added for selective
982       self-tests, but #ifdefed out.
983- [BA] Modified smartd exit status and log levels.  If smartd is
984       "cleanly" terminated, for example with SIGTERM, then its
985       exit messages are now logged at LOG_INFO not LOG_CRIT
986- [BA] Added Attribute IDs  (Fujitsu) 0xCA - 0xCE.  This is decimal
987       202-206. Added -v switches for interpretation of Attributes
988       192, 198 and 201.
989- [BA] Made smartmontools work with any endian order machine for:
990       - SMART selftest log
991       - SMART ATA error log
992       - SMART Attributes values
993       - SMART Attributes thesholds
994       - IDENTIFY DEVICE information
995       - LOG DIRECTORY
996       Smartmontools is now free of endian bias and works correctly
997       on both little- and big-endian hardware.  This has been tested by
998       three independent PPC users on a variety of ATA and SCSI hardware.
999- [DG] Check that certain SCSI command responses are well formed. If
1000       IEC mode page response is not well formed exit smartctl. This
1001       is to protect aacraid. smartd should ignore a aacraid device.
1002
1003* Mon Jun 16 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1004- [BA] smartctl: added column to -A output to show if Attributes are
1005       updated only during off-line testing or also during normal
1006       operation.
1007
1008* Tue Jun 10 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1009- [BA] smartd: attempt to enable/disable automatic offline testing even
1010       if the disk appears not to support it.  Now the same logic
1011       as smartctl.
1012- [BA] Added definition of Attribute 201, soft read error rate.
1013- [BA] Added IBM/Hitachi IC35L120AVV207-1 (GXP-180) and corresponding
1014       8MB Cache GXP-120 to drive database.
1015- [BA] smartd: if DEVICESCAN Directive used in smartd.conf, and
1016       -I, -R or -r Directives used in conjunction with this, got
1017       segv errors.  Fixed by correcting memory allocation calls.
1018- [BA] smartd: enable automatic offline testing was broken due
1019       to cut-and-paste error that disabled it instead of
1020       enabling it.  Thanks to Maciej W. Rozycki for pointing
1021       out the problem and solution.
1022- [BA] Fixed "spelling" of some Attribute names to replace spaces
1023       in names by underscores. (Fixed field width easier for awk
1024       style parsing.)
1025- [BA] Added mods submitted by Guilhem Frezou to support Attribute 193
1026       being load/unload cycles. Add -v 193,loadunload option, useful
1027       for Hitachi drive DK23EA-30, and add this drive to knowndrive.c
1028       Add meaning of attribute 250 : Read error retry rate
1029- [BA] Added another entry for Samsung drives to knowndrive table.
1030- [DG] Refine SCSI log sense command to do a double fetch in most cases
1031       (but not for the TapeAlert log page). Fix TapeAlert and Self Test
1032       log pgae response truncation.
1033- [PW] Added 'removable' argument to -d Directive for smartd.  This indicates
1034       that smartd should continue (rather than exit) if the device does not
1035       appear to be present.
1036- [BA] Modified smartmontools.spec [Man pages location] and
1037       smartd.initd [Extra space kills chkconfig!] for Redhat 6.x
1038       compatibility (thanks to Gerald Schnabel).
1039
1040* Wed May 7 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1041- [EB] Add another Fujitsu disk to knowndrives.c
1042- [GG] match for scsi/ and ide/ in case of devfs to exclude false postives
1043- [BA] If SCSI device listed in /etc/smartd.conf fails to open or do
1044       SMART stuff correctly, or not enough space
1045       to list all SCSI devices, fail with error unless
1046       -DSCSIDEVELOPMENT set during compile-time.
1047- [BA] Added automatic recognition of /dev/i* (example: /dev/ide/...)
1048       as an ATA device.
1049- [DG] Add "Device type: [disk | tape | medium changer | ...]" line to
1050       smartctl -i output for SCSI devices.
1051- [PW] Fixed bug in smartd where test email would be sent regularly (for
1052       example, daily if the user had specified -M daily) instead of just
1053       once on startup.
1054- [KM] More TapeAlert work. Added translations for media changer
1055       alerts. TapeAlert support reported according to the log page
1056       presence. ModeSense not attempted for non-ready tapes (all
1057       drives do not support this after all). Get peripheral type from
1058       Inquiry even if drive info is not printed. Add QUIETON()
1059       QUIETOFF() to TapeAlert log check.
1060- [BA] Stupid bug in atacmds.c minor_str[] affected ataVersionInfo().
1061       Two missing commas meant that minor_str[] had two few elements,
1062       leading to output like this:
1063       Device Model:     Maxtor 6Y120L0
1064       Serial Number:    Y40BF74E
1065       Firmware Version: YAR41VW0
1066       Device is:        Not in smartctl database [for details use: -P showall]
1067       ATA Version is:   7
1068       ATA Standard is:  9,minutes
1069                         ^^^^^^^^^
1070       Missing commas inserted.
1071- [BA] Fixed smartd bug.  On device registration, if ATA device did
1072       not support SMART error or self-test logs but user had asked to
1073       monitor them, an attempt would be made to read them anyway,
1074       possibly generating "Drive Seek" errors.  We now check that
1075       the self-test and error logs are supported before trying to
1076       access them the first time.
1077- [GG/BA] Fixed bug where if SMART ATA error log not supported,
1078       command was tried anyway. Changed some error printing to use
1079       print handlers.
1080- [GG] Makefile modifications to ease packaging
1081- [DG] Did work for TapeAlerts (SCSI). Now can detect /dev/nst0 as a
1082       SCSI device. Also open SCSI devices O_NONBLOCK so they don't
1083       hang on open awaiting media. The ATA side should worry about
1084       this also: during a DEVICESCAN a cd/dvd device without media
1085       will hang. Added some TapeAlert code suggested by Kai Makisara.
1086
1087* Mon Apr 21 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1088- [PW] Extended the -F option/Directive to potentially fix other firmware
1089       bugs in addition to the Samsung byte-order bug.  Long option name is
1090       now --firmwarebug and the option/Directive accepts an argument
1091       indicating the type of firmware bug to fix.
1092- [BA] Fixed a bug that prevented the enable automatic off-line
1093       test feature from enabling.  It also prevented the enable Attribute
1094       autosave from working.  See CVS entry for additional details.
1095- [PW] Modified the -r/--report option (smartctl and smartd) to allow the
1096       user to specify the debug level as a positive integer.
1097- [BA] Added --log directory option to smartctl.  If the disk
1098       supports the general-purpose logging feature set (ATA-6/7)
1099       then this option enables the Log Directory to be printed.
1100       This Log Directory shows which device logs are available, and
1101       their lengths in sectors.
1102- [PW] Added -P/--presets option to smartctl and -P Directive to smartd.
1103- [GG] Introduce different exit codes indicating the type of problem
1104       encountered for smartd.
1105- [DG] Add non-medium error count to '-l error' and extended self test
1106       duration to '-l selftest'. Get scsi IEs and temperature changes
1107       working in smartd. Step over various scsi disk problems rather
1108       than abort smartd startup.
1109- [DG] Support -l error for SCSI disks (and tapes). Output error counter
1110       log pages.
1111- [BA] Added -F/--fixbyteorder option to smartctl.  This allows us to read
1112       SMART data from some disks that have byte-reversed two- and four-
1113       byte quantities in their SMART data structures.
1114- [BA] Fixed serious bug: the -v options in smartd.conf were all put
1115       together and used together, not drive-by-drive.
1116- [PW] Added knowndrives.h and knowndrives.c.  The knowndrives array
1117       supersedes the drivewarnings array.
1118- [GG] add {-p,--pidfile} option to smartd to write a PID file on
1119       startup. Update the manpage accordingly.
1120- [DG] Fix scsi smartd problem detecting SMART support. More cleaning
1121       and fix (and rename) scsiTestUnitReady(). More scsi renaming.
1122- [BA] Fixed smartd so that if a disk that is explictily listed is not
1123       found, then smartd will exit with nonzero status BEFORE forking.
1124       If a disk can't be registered, this will also be detected before
1125       forking, so that init scripts can react correctly.
1126- [BA] Replaced all linux-specific ioctl() calls in atacmds.c with
1127       a generic handler smartcommandhandler().  Now the only routine
1128       that needs to be implemented for a given OS is os_specific_handler().
1129       Also implemented the --report ataioctl. This provides
1130       two levels of reporting.  Using the option once gives a summary
1131       report of device IOCTL transactions.  Using the option twice give
1132       additional info (a printout of ALL device raw 512 byte SMART
1133       data structures).  This is useful for debugging.
1134- [DG] more scsi cleanup. Output scsi device serial number (VPD page
1135       0x80) if available as part of '-i'. Implement '-t offline' as
1136       default self test (only self test older disks support).
1137- [BA] Changed crit to info in loglevel of smartd complaint to syslog
1138       if DEVICESCAN enabled and device not found.
1139- [BA] Added -v 194,10xCelsius option/Directive. Raw Attribute number
1140       194 is ten times the disk temperature in Celsius.
1141- [DG] scsicmds.[hc] + scsiprint.c: clean up indentation, remove tabs.
1142       Introduce new intermediate interface based on "struct scsi_cmnd_io"
1143       to isolate SCSI generic commands + responses from Linux details;
1144       should help port to FreeBSD of SCSI part of smartmontools.
1145       Make SCSI command builders more parametric.
1146
1147* Thu Mar 13 2003  Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1148- [BA] smartctl: if HDIO_DRIVE_TASK ioctl() is not implemented (no
1149       kernel support) then try to assess drive health by examining
1150       Attribute values/thresholds directly.
1151- [BA] smartd/smartctl: added -v 200,writeerrorcount option/Directive
1152       for Fujitsu disks.
1153- [BA] smartd: Now send email if any of the SMART commands fails,
1154       or if open()ing the device fails.  This is often noted
1155       as a common disk failure mode.
1156- [BA] smartd/smartctl: Added -v N,raw8 -v N,raw16 and -v N,raw48
1157       Directives/Options for printing Raw Attributes in different
1158       Formats.
1159- [BA] smartd: Added -r ID and -R ID for reporting/tracking Raw
1160       values of Attributes.
1161- [BA] smartd/smartctl: Changed printing of spin-up-time attribute
1162       raw value to reflect current/average as per IBM standard.
1163- [BA] smartd/smartctl: Added -v 9,seconds option for disks which
1164       use Attribute 9 for power-on lifetime in seconds.
1165- [BA] smartctl: Added a warning message so that users of some IBM
1166       disks are warned to update their firmware.  Note: we may want
1167       to add a command-line flag to disable the warning messages.
1168       I have done this in a general way, using regexp, so that we
1169       can add warnings about any type of disk that we wish..
1170
1171* Wed Feb 12 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1172- [BA] smartd: Created a subdirectory examplescripts/ of source
1173       directory that contains executable scripts for the -M exec PATH
1174       Directive of smartd.
1175- [BA] smartd: DEVICESCAN in /etc/smartd.conf
1176       can now be followed by all the same Directives as a regular
1177       device name like /dev/hda takes.  This allows one to use
1178       (for example):
1179       DEVICESCAN -m root@example.com
1180       in the /etc/smartd.conf file.
1181- [BA] smartd: Added -c (--checkonce) command-line option. This checks
1182       all devices once, then exits.  The exit status can be
1183       used to learn if devices were detected, and if smartd is
1184       functioning correctly. This is primarily for Distribution
1185       scripters.
1186- [BA] smartd: Implemented -M exec Directive for
1187       smartd.conf.  This makes it possible to run an
1188       arbitrary script or mailing program with the
1189       -m option.
1190- [PW] smartd: Modified -M Directive so that it can be given
1191       multiple times.  Added -M exec Directive.
1192
1193* Tue Jan 21 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1194- [BA] Fixed bug in smartctl pointed out by Pierre Gentile.
1195       -d scsi didn't work because tryata and tryscsi were
1196       reversed -- now works on /devfs SCSI devices.
1197- [BA] Fixed bug in smartctl pointed out by Gregory Goddard
1198       <ggoddard@ufl.edu>.  Manual says that bit 6 of return
1199       value turned on if errors found in smart error log.  But
1200       this wasn't implemented.
1201- [BA] Modified printing format for 9,minutes to read
1202       Xh+Ym not X h + Y m, so that fields are fixed width.
1203- [BA] Added Attribute 240 "head flying hours"
1204
1205* Sun Jan 12 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1206- [BA] As requested, local time/date now printed by smartctl -i
1207
1208* Thu Jan 9 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1209- [PW] Added 'help' argument to -v for smartctl
1210- [PW] Added -D, --showdirectives option to smartd
1211
1212* Sat Jan 4 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1213- [DG] add '-l selftest' capability for SCSI devices (update smartctl.8)
1214- [BA] smartd,smartctl: added additional Attribute modification option
1215  -v 220,temp and -v 9,temp.
1216- [PW] Renamed smartd option -X to -d
1217- [PW] Changed smartd.conf Directives -- see man page
1218- [BA/DG] Fixed uncommented comment in smartd.conf
1219- [DG] Correct 'Recommended start stop count' for SCSI devices
1220- [PW] Replaced smartd.conf directive -C with smartd option -i
1221- [PW] Changed options for smartctl -- see man page.
1222- [BA] Use strerror() to generate system call error messages.
1223- [BA] smartd: fflush() all open streams before fork().
1224- [BA] smartctl, smartd simplified internal handling of checksums
1225  for simpler porting and less code.
1226
1227* Sun Dec 8 2002 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1228- [PW] smartd --debugmode changed to --debug
1229- [BA] smartd/smartctl added attribute 230 Head Amplitude from
1230  IBM DPTA-353750.
1231- [PW] Added list of proposed new options for smartctl to README.
1232- [PW] smartd: ParseOpts() now uses getopt_long() if HAVE_GETOPT_LONG is
1233  defined and uses getopt() otherwise.  This is controlled by CPPFLAGS in
1234  the Makefile.
1235- [BA] smartd: Fixed a couple of error messages done with perror()
1236  to redirect them as needed.
1237- [BA] smartctl: The -O option to enable an Immediate off-line test
1238  did not print out the correct time that the test would take to
1239  complete.  This is because the test timer is volatile and not
1240  fixed.  This has been fixed, and the smartctl.8 man page has been
1241  updated to explain how to track the Immediate offline test as it
1242  progresses, and to further emphasize the differences between the
1243  off-line immediate test and the self-tests.
1244- [BA] smartd/smartctl: Added new attribute (200) Multi_Zone_Error_Rate
1245- [BA] smartctl: modified so that arguments could have either a single -
1246  as in -ea or multiple ones as in -e -a.  Improved warning message for
1247  device not opened, and fixed error in redirection of error output of
1248  HD identity command.
1249- [PW] smartd: added support for long options.  All short options are still
1250  supported; see manpage for available long options.
1251- [BA] smartctl.  When raw Attribute value was 2^31 or larger, did
1252  not print correctly.
1253
1254* Fri Nov 22 2002 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1255- Allen: smartd: added smartd.conf Directives -T and -s.  The -T Directive
1256  enables/disables Automatic Offline Testing.  The -s Directive
1257  enables/disables Attribute Autosave. Documentation and
1258  example configuration file updated to agree.
1259- Allen: smartd: user can make smartd check the disks at any time
1260  (ie, interrupt sleep) by sending signal SIGUSR1 to smartd.  This
1261  can be done for example with:
1262  kill -USR1 <pid>
1263  where <pid> is the process ID number of smartd.
1264- Bolso: scsi: don't trust the data we receive from the drive too
1265  much. It very well might have errors (like zero response length).
1266  Seen on Megaraid logical drive, and verified in the driver source.
1267- Allen: smartd: added Directive -m for sending test email and
1268  for modifying email reminder behavior.  Updated manual, and sample
1269  configuration file to illustrate & explain this.
1270- Allen: smartd: increased size of a continued smartd.conf line to
1271  1023 characters.
1272- Allen: Simplified Directive parsers and improved warning/error
1273  messages.
1274
1275* Sun Nov 17 2002 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1276- Fixed bug in smartd where testunitready logic inverted
1277  prevented functioning on scsi devices.
1278- Added testunitnotready to smartctl for symmetry with smartd.
1279- Brabec: added Czech descriptions to .spec file
1280- Brabec: corrected comment in smartd.conf example
1281- Changed way that entries in the ATA error log are printed,
1282  to make it clearer which is the most recent error and
1283  which is the oldest one.
1284- Changed Temperature_Centigrade to Temperature_Celsius.
1285  The term "Centigrade" ceased to exist in 1948.  (c.f
1286  http://www.bartleby.com/64/C004/016.html).
1287
1288* Wed Nov 13 2002 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1289- smartd SCSI devices: can now send warning email message on failure
1290- Added a new smartd configuration file Directive: -M ADDRESS.
1291  This sends a single warning email to ADDRESS for failures or
1292  errors detected with the -c, -L, -l, or -f Directives.
1293
1294* Mon Nov 11 2002 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1295- Modified perror() statements in atacmds.c so that printout for SMART
1296  commands errors is properly suppressed or queued depending upon users
1297  choices for error reporting modes.
1298- Added Italian descriptions to smartmontools.spec file.
1299- Started impementing send-mail-on-error for smartd; not yet enabled.
1300 
1301* Sun Nov 10 2002 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1302- Added -P (Permissive) Directive to smartd.conf file to allow SMART monitoring of
1303  pre-ATA-3 Rev 4 disks that have SMART but do not have a SMART capability bit.
1304
1305* Thu Nov 7 2002 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1306- Added a Man section 5 page for smartd.conf
1307- Changed Makefile so that the -V option does not reflect file state
1308  before commit!
1309- modified .spec file so that locale information now contains
1310  character set definition.   Changed pt_BR to pt since we do not use any
1311  aspect other than language.  See man setlocale.
1312- smartctl: added new options -W, -U, and -P to control if and how the
1313  smartctl exits if an error is detected in either a SMART data
1314  structure checksum, or a SMART command returns an error.
1315- modified manual page to break options into slightly more logical
1316  categories.
1317- reformatted 'usage' message order to agree with man page ordering
1318
1319* Mon Nov 4 2002 Bruce Allen  <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1320- smartctl: added new options -n and -N to force device to be ATA or SCSI
1321- smartctl: no longer dies silently if device path does not start/dev/X
1322- smartctl: now handles arbitrary device paths
1323- Added additional macros for manual and sbin paths in this SPEC file.
1324- Modified Makefile to install /etc/smartd.conf, but without overwriting existing config file
1325- Modified this specfile to do the same, and to not remove any files that it did not install
1326
1327* Wed Oct 30 2002 Bruce Allen  <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1328- Fixed typesetting error in man page smartd.8
1329- Removed redundant variable (harmless) from smartd.c
1330
1331* Tue Oct 29 2002 Bruce Allen  <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1332- Added a new directive for the configuration file.  If the word
1333  DEVICESCAN appears before any non-commented material in the
1334  configuration file, then the confi file will be ignored and the
1335  devices wil be scanned.
1336- Note: it has now been confirmed that the code modifications between
1337  5.0.23 and 5.0.24 have eliminated the GCC 3.2 problems.  Note that
1338  there is a GCC bug howerver, see #8404 at
1339  http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8404
1340- Added new Directive for Configuration file:
1341  -C <N> This sets the time in between disk checks to be <N>
1342  seconds apart.  Note that  although  you  can  give
1343  this Directive multiple times on different lines of
1344  the configuration file, only the final  value  that
1345  is  given  has  an  effect,  and applies to all the
1346  disks.  The default value of <N> is 1800  sec,  and
1347  the minimum allowed value is ten seconds.
1348- Problem wasn't the print format. F.L.W. Meunier <0@pervalidus.net>
1349  sent me a gcc 3.2 build and I ran it under a debugger.  The
1350  problem seems to be with passing the very large (2x512+4) byte
1351  data structures as arguments.  I never liked this anyway; it was
1352  inherited from smartsuite.  So I've changed all the heavyweight
1353  functions (ATA ones, anyone) to just passing pointers, not hideous
1354  kB size structures on the stack.  Hopefully this will now build OK
1355  under gcc 3.2 with any sensible compilation options.
1356- Because of reported problems with GCC 3.2 compile, I have gone
1357  thorough the code and explicitly changed all print format
1358  parameters to correspond EXACTLY to int unless they have to be
1359  promoted to long longs.  To quote from the glibc bible: [From
1360  GLIBC Manual: Since the prototype doesn't specify types for
1361  optional arguments, in a call to a variadic function the default
1362  argument promotions are performed on the optional argument
1363  values. This means the objects of type char or short int (whether
1364  signed or not) are promoted to either int or unsigned int, as
1365  required.
1366- smartd, smartctl now warn if they find an attribute whose ID
1367  number does not match between Data and Threshold structures.
1368- Fixed nasty bug which led to wrong number of arguments for a
1369  varargs statement, with attendent stack corruption.  Sheesh!
1370  Have added script to CVS attic to help find such nasties in the
1371  future.
1372
1373* Tue Oct 29 2002 Bruce Allen  <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1374- Eliminated some global variables out of header files and other
1375  minor cleanup of smartd.
1376- Did some revision of the man page for smartd and made the usage
1377  messages for Directives consistent.
1378- smartd: prints warning message when it gets SIGHUP, saying that it is
1379  NOT re-reading the config file.
1380- smartctl: updated man page to say self-test commands -O,x,X,s,S,A
1381  appear to be supported in the code.  [I can't test these,  can anyone
1382  report?]
1383- smartctl: smartctl would previously print the LBA of a self-test
1384  if it completed, and the LBA was not 0 or 0xff...f However
1385  according to the specs this is not correct.  According to the
1386  specs, if the self-test completed without error then LBA is
1387  undefined.  This version fixes that.  LBA value only printed if
1388  self-test encountered an error.
1389- smartd has changed significantly. This is the first CVS checkin of
1390  code that extends the options available for smartd.  The following
1391  options can be placed into the /etc/smartd.conf file, and control the
1392  behavior of smartd.
1393- Configuration file Directives (following device name):
1394  -A     Device is an ATA device
1395  -S     Device is a SCSI device
1396  -c     Monitor SMART Health Status
1397  -l     Monitor SMART Error Log for changes
1398  -L     Monitor SMART Self-Test Log for new errors
1399  -f     Monitor for failure of any 'Usage' Attributes
1400  -p     Report changes in 'Prefailure' Attributes
1401  -u     Report changes in 'Usage' Attributes
1402  -t     Equivalent to -p and -u Directives
1403  -a     Equivalent to -c -l -L -f -t Directives
1404  -i ID  Ignore Attribute ID for -f Directive
1405  -I ID  Ignore Attribute ID for -p, -u or -t Directive
1406  #      Comment: text after a hash sign is ignored
1407  \      Line continuation character
1408- cleaned up functions used for printing CVS IDs.  Now use string
1409  library, as it should be.
1410- modified length of device name string in smartd internal structure
1411  to accomodate max length device name strings
1412- removed un-implemented (-e = Email notification) option from
1413  command line arg list.  We'll put it back on when implemeneted.
1414- smartd now logs serious (fatal) conditions in its operation at
1415  loglevel LOG_CRIT rather than LOG_INFO before exiting with error.
1416- smartd used to open a file descriptor for each SMART enabled
1417- device, and then keep it open the entire time smartd was running.
1418  This meant that some commands, like IOREADBLKPART did not work,
1419  since the fd to the device was open.  smartd now opens the device
1420  when it needs to read values, then closes it.  Also, if one time
1421  around it can't open the device, it simply prints a warning
1422  message but does not give up.  Have eliminated the .fd field from
1423  data structures -- no longer gets used.
1424- smartd now opens SCSI devices as well using O_RDONLY rather than
1425  O_RDWR.  If someone can no longer monitor a SCSI device that used
1426  to be readable, this may well be the reason why.
1427- smartd never checked if the number of ata or scsi devices detected
1428  was greater than the max number it could monitor.  Now it does.
1429
1430* Fri Oct 25 2002 Bruce Allen  <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1431- changes to the Makefile and spec file so that if there are ungzipped manual
1432  pages in place these will be removed so that the new gzipped man pages are
1433  visible.
1434- smartd on startup now looks in the configuration file /etc/smartd.conf for
1435  a list of devices which to include in its monitoring list.  See man page
1436  (man smartd) for syntax. If not found, try all ata and ide devices.
1437- smartd: close file descriptors of SCSI device if not SMART capable
1438  Closes ALL file descriptors after forking to daemon.
1439- added new temperature attribute (231, temperature)
1440- smartd: now open ATA disks using O_RDONLY
1441
1442* Thu Oct 24 2002 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1443- smartd now prints the name of a failed or changed attribute into logfile,
1444  not just ID number
1445- Changed name of -p (print version) option to -V
1446- Minor change in philosophy: if a SMART command fails or the device
1447    appears incapable of a SMART command that the user has asked for,
1448    complain by printing an error message, but go ahead and try
1449    anyway.  Since unimplemented SMART commands should just return an
1450    error but not cause disk problems, this should't cause any
1451    difficulty.
1452- Added two new flags: q and Q.  q is quiet mode - only print: For
1453    the -l option, errors recorded in the SMART error log; For the -L
1454    option, errors recorded in the device self-test log; For the -c
1455    SMART "disk failing" status or device attributes (pre-failure or
1456    usage) which failed either now or in the past; For the -v option
1457    device attributes (pre-failure or usage) which failed either now
1458    or in the past.  Q is Very Quiet mode: Print no ouput.  The only
1459    way to learn about what was found is to use the exit status of
1460    smartctl.
1461- smartctl now returns sensible values (bitmask).  See smartctl.h
1462    for the values, and the man page for documentation.
1463- The SMART status check now uses the correct ATA call.  If failure
1464    is detected we search through attributes to list the failed ones.
1465    If the SMART status check shows GOOD, we then look to see if their
1466    are any usage attributes or prefail attributes have failed at any
1467    time.  If so we print them.
1468- Modified function that prints vendor attributes to say if the
1469    attribute has currently failed or has ever failed.
1470- -p option now prints out license info and CVS strings for all
1471    modules in the code, nicely formatted.
1472- Previous versions of this code (and Smartsuite) only generate
1473    SMART failure errors if the value of an attribute is below the
1474    threshold and the prefailure bit is set.  However the ATA Spec
1475    (ATA4 <=Rev 4) says that it is a SMART failure if the value of an
1476    attribute is LESS THAN OR EQUAL to the threshold and the
1477    prefailure bit is set.  This is now fixed in both smartctl and
1478    smartd.  Note that this is a troubled subject -- the original
1479    SFF 8035i specification defining SMART was inconsistent about
1480    this.  One section says that Attribute==Threshold is pass,
1481    and another section says it is fail.  However the ATA specs are
1482    consistent and say Attribute==Threshold is a fail.
1483- smartd did not print the correct value of any failing SMART attribute.  It
1484    printed the index in the attribute table, not the attribute
1485    ID. This is fixed.
1486- when starting self-tests in captive mode ioctl returns EIO because
1487    the drive has been busied out.  Detect this and don't return an eror
1488    in this case.  Check this this is correct (or how to fix it?)
1489 - fixed possible error in how to determine ATA standard support
1490    for devices with no ATA minor revision number.
1491- device opened only in read-only not read-write mode.  Don't need R/W
1492    access to get smart data. Check this with Andre.
1493- smartctl now handles all possible choices of "multiple options"
1494    gracefully.  It goes through the following phases of operation,
1495    in order: INFORMATION, ENABLE/DISABLE, DISPLAY DATA, RUN/ABORT TESTS.
1496    Documentation has bee updated to explain the different phases of
1497    operation.  Control flow through ataPrintMain()
1498    simplified.
1499- If reading device identity information fails, try seeing if the info
1500    can be accessed using a "DEVICE PACKET" command.  This way we can
1501    at least get device info.
1502- Modified Makefile to automatically tag CVS archive on issuance of
1503    a release
1504- Modified drive detection so minor device ID code showing ATA-3 rev
1505    0 (no SMART) is known to not be SMART capable.
1506- Now verify the checksum of the device ID data structure, and of the
1507    attributes threshold structure.  Before neither of these
1508    structures had their checksums verified.
1509- New behavior vis-a-vis checksums.  If they are wrong, we log
1510    warning messages to stdout, stderr, and syslog, but carry on
1511    anyway.  All functions now call a checksumwarning routine if the
1512    checksum doesn't vanish as it should.
1513- Changed Read Hard Disk Identity function to get fresh info from
1514    the disk on each call rather than to use the values that were read
1515    upon boot-up into the BIOS.  This is the biggest change in this
1516    release.  The ioctl(device, HDIO_GET_IDENTITY, buf ) call should
1517    be avoided in such code.  Note that if people get garbled strings
1518    for the model, serial no and firmware versions of their drives,
1519    then blame goes here (the BIOS does the byte swapping for you,
1520    apparently!)
1521- Function ataSmartSupport now looks at correct bits in drive
1522    identity structure to verify first that these bits are valid,
1523    before using them.
1524- Function ataIsSmartEnabled() written which uses the Drive ID state
1525    information to tell if SMART is enabled or not.  We'll carry this
1526    along for the moment without using it.
1527- Function ataDoesSmartWork() guaranteed to work if the device
1528    supports SMART.
1529- Replace some numbers by #define MACROS
1530- Wrote Function TestTime to return test time associated with each
1531    different type of test.
1532- Thinking of the future, have added a new function called
1533    ataSmartStatus2().  Eventually when I understand how to use the
1534    TASKFILE API and am sure that this works correctly, it will
1535    replace ataSmartStatus().  This queries the drive directly to
1536    see if the SMART status is OK, rather than comparing thresholds to
1537    attribute values ourselves. But I need to get some drives that fail
1538    their SMART status to check it.

1541-   Removed extraneous space before some error message printing.
1542-   Fixed some character buffers that were too short for contents.
1543    Only used for unrecognized drives, so probably damage was minimal.

1545* Wed Oct 16 2002 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1546-   Initial release.  Code is derived from smartsuite, and is
1547    intended to be compatible with the ATA/ATAPI-5 specifications.
1548-   For IBM disks whose raw temp data includes three temps. print all
1549    three
1550-   print timestamps for error log to msec precision
1551-   added -m option for Hitachi disks that store power on life in
1552    minutes
1553-   added -L option for printing self-test error logs
1554-   in -l option, now print power on lifetime, so that one can see
1555    when the error took place
1556-   updated SMART structure definitions to ATA-5 spec
1557-   added -p option
1558-   added -f and -F options to enable/disable autosave threshold
1559    parameters
