39smartmontools controls and monitors storage devices using the
40Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology System (S.M.A.R.T.)
41built into ATA and SCSI Hard Drives.  This is used to check the
42reliability of the hard drive and to predict drive failures.  The suite
43is derived from the smartsuite package, and contains two utilities.  The
44first, smartctl, is a command line utility designed to perform simple
45S.M.A.R.T. tasks.  The second, smartd, is a daemon that periodically
46monitors smart status and reports errors to syslog.  The package is
47compatible with the ATA/ATAPI-5 specification.  Future releases will be
48compatible with the ATA/ATAPI-6 andATA/ATAPI-7 specifications.  The
49package is intended to incorporate as much "vendor specific" and
50"reserved" information as possible about disk drives.  man smartctl and
51man smartd will provide more information. The most recent versions of
52this package and additional information can be found at the URL:
53http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/

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

366       (smartctl) into --attributes section (was in --info section).
367  [GG] change default installation location to /usr/local
368  [CF] Cygwin smartd: Fixed crash on access of SCSI devices after fork().
369  [PW] Added TOSHIBA MK4018GAS and the following Maxtor drive families
370       to knowndrives table: DiamondMax D540X-4G, Fireball 541DX,
371       DiamondMax 3400 Ultra ATA, DiamondMax Plus 6800 Ultra ATA 66.
372  [PW] Added missing Maxtor DiamondMax 16, DiamondMax D540X-4K, and
373       DiamondMax Plus 45 Ulta ATA 100 drives to knowndrives table.
374  [PW] Added ExcelStor J240, Hitachi Travelstar 80GN family, Fujitsu
375       MHTxxxxAT family, and IBM Deskstar 25GP and 22GXP families to
376       knowndrives table.
377  [CF] Cygwin smartd: Added workaround for missing SIGQUIT via keyboard:
378       To exit smartd in debug mode, type CONTROL-C twice.
379  [BA] smartctl: printing of the selective self-test log is now
380       controlled by a new option: -l selective
381  [BA] Added entries for Samsung firmware versions -25 to -39 based
382       on latest info about firmware bug fixes.

388       warning (and send an email, if so configured) if the raw count
389       is nonzero.  These are controlled by new Directives: -C and -U.
390       Currently they are enabled by default.
391  [CF] Added option -c FILE, --configfile=FILE to smartd to specify
392       an alternate configuration FILE or '-' for standard input.

400       specific configuration files if found
401  [SS] smartctl: added NetBSD support for Selective Self-tests.
402  [BA] smartd.conf example configuration file now has all examples
403       commented out except for 'DEVICESCAN'.
404  [CF] Win32/native smartd: Added ability to display warning "emails"
405       as message box by "-m msgbox" directive. With "-m sysmsgbox",
406       a system modal (always on top) message box is shown.
407  [BA] smartctl: printing of self-test log for disks that support
408       Selective self-testing now shows the status of the (optional)
409       read-scan after the selective self test.  Also, changed format
410       in printing self-test log to print failing LBA in base 10 not
411       base 16 (more compatible with kernel error messages).  Also,
412       in printing SMART error log, print timestamps in format
413       days+hours+minutes+seconds.
414  [CF] Win32 smartd: Added ability to log to stdout/stderr
415       (-l local1/2). Toggling debug console still works
416       if stdout is redirected.
417  [BA] smartctl: selective self-test log, print current status
418       in a  more detailed way.  Allow writing of selective self-test
419       log provided that no other self-test is underway.
420  [BA] Linux: eliminated dependency on kernel tree hdreg.h.
421  [BA] smartctl: -l selftest option now prints Selective self-test
422       log in addition to the normal self-test log.
423       Added additional options (-t pending, -t afterselect) to
424       control remaining Selective Self-test capabilities.  Tested
425       with several Maxtor disks. Modified error message printing
426       so that munged option messages print at the end not the
427       start of output.
428  [CF] Added daemon support to Win32 native version of smartd.
429       The daemon can be controlled by commands similar to initd
430       scripts: "smartd status|stop|reload|restart|sigusr1|sigusr2".
431  [CF] Added minor support for option "-l local[0-7]" to Win32 native
432       (not Cygwin) version of smartd. If specified, the log output
433       is written to file "./smartd[1-7]?.log" instead of event log.
434  [BA] Added Selective Self-test to smartctl (-t selective,M-N).
435       Currently only supported under Linux; Solaris, NetBSD, FreeBSD
436       and Windows developers must add WRITE LOG functionality to
437       os_*.c
438  [BA] Added workaround for an annoying glibc bug: if you change
439       timezones, (eg, flying with a laptop from USA to Europe)
440       localtime() does not notice this in a running
441       executable, so time that appears in the system log (syslog!)
442       will be incorrect.  See
443       http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=48184
444       for additional examples of this bug.
445  [DG] Set explicit timeouts for SCSI commands (most default to 6 seconds).
446       Previously a 0 second timeout was meant to be interpreted as a
447       default timeout but the FreeBSD port had a problem in this area.
448  [CF] Fixed un-thread-safe exit signal handler for Win32
449  [BA] Fixed un-thread-safe exit signal handler pointed out
450       by CF.
451  [BA] Changed configure script to eliminate warnings under
452       Solaris from sys/int_type.h conflicts with int64.h
453       Added header files for umask to smartd.c.
454  [BA] Man page format change from Werner LEMBERG.  " " changed to \&
455  [CF] Added os_win32/syslogevt.* event message file tool for Win32
456       smartd (native+cygwin). May also be useful for other cygwin
457       programs writing to syslog().
458  [CF] Added Win32 version of smartd
459  [CF] Merged RELEASE_5_26_WIN32_BRANCH
460  [BA] Made some changes to man page markup suggested by
461       Richard Verhoeven to work around bugs in man2html.
462       Tested not to break anything under Linux and Solaris.
463  [CF] Moved PrintOut() from utility.c to smart{ctl,d}.c to avoid
464       syslog() output of smartctl.
465  [BA] Grew worried that some time-zone names could be very long (eg,
466       Mitteleuropaische Zeit) and put date string lengths into a
467       single macro in utility.c
468  [EM] Updated os_freebsd.c to handle older versions of FreeBSD in a
469       more appropriate/obvious fashion.
470  [EM] Modified autogen.sh as FreeBSD installs automake 1.7 as
471       'automake17' and NOT 'automake-1.7'
472
473* Sat Mar 6 2004 Bruce Allen  <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
474  [PW] Added QUANTUM FIREBALLlct15 30, QUANTUM FIREBALLlct20 40, and
475       Maxtor 6Y060P0 (DiamondMax Plus 9 60GB) to knowndrives table.
476  [PW] Added Maxtor MaXLine II family to knowndrives table (thanks to
477       Brett Russ for submitting the patch).
478  [BA] Added remaining read/write commands to detailed list of
479       error log commands that have text descriptions of problem
480       printed.  For commands that support it, print number of failed
481       sectors at problem LBA.
482  [BA] Made SuSE section of smartd init script more SuSE 9 compatible.
483       Thanks to Hans-Peter Jansen.
484  [CF] Windows smartd: Added IDE/ATA device scan
485       Added windows device names to smartctl.8.in, smartd.8.in
486  [BA] smartctl/smartd: user-provided '-F samsung' and '-F samsung2'
487       command line options/Directives did NOT over-ride preset values
488       unless user specified '-P ignore'.  Now they will always over-ride
489       preset values from the database.
490  [BA] Added error decoding for a few more READ and WRITE commands.
491  [PW] Added Maxtor MaXLine Plus II, Western Digital Caviar SE (Serial ATA)
492       series, Hitachi Deskstar 7K250 series, and Ultra ATA 66 models of
493       the Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 40 series to knowndrives table.
494  [BA] Added Maxtor Diamondmax 250 GB drives to database.  Note that
495       these model numbers are not listed in Maxtor documentation, but
496       they exist.
497  [BA] Removed the 'contact developers' phrase from the Samsung disk
498       warning messages.
499  [PW] Added TOSHIBA MK2017GAP, IBM Deskstar 14GXP and 16GP series,
500       Fujitsu MPC series, Seagate Barracuda ATA III family, and missing
501       Seagate Barracuda U Series drives to knowndrives table
502  [BA] smartd: wrong loglevel for message: Configuration file
503       /etc/smartd.conf parsed.  Changed to LOG_INFO from LOG_CRIT.
504       Thanks to  Emmanuel CHANTREAU for the report.
505  [CF] Checked in development version of windows code base.
506
507* Tue Feb 24 2004 Bruce Allen  <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
508  [BA] smartd: configure script did not set correct directory to search for
509       smartd.conf based on --prefix argument to ./configure.  Thanks to
510       GG for identifying the problem and fix.
511  [BA] make clean now removes man pages (generated from *.in) files as well
512       as object files.
513  [EM] Correct copying of sense data in FreeBSD SCSI implementation. Thanks
514       to Sergey Svishchev for noticing the bug.
515  [BA] On solaris, wrong warning message if no ATA support.  Warning message
516       concerns 3ware controller, not ATA.
517  [SS] Added SCSI support for NetBSD.
518  [BA] on big-endian linux machines, fixed interpretation of HDIO_GET_IDENTITY
519       to correctly identify ATAPI bit (was byte swapped).  This should
520       eliminate some SYSLOG noise if user queries a packet device (eg, CD
521       ROM or DVD reader).
522  [PW] Removed warning for IBM Deskstar 40GV & 75GXP series drives with
523       A5AA/A6AA firmware.  Thanks to Gerald Schnabel.
524  [PW] Added Toshiba TOS MK3019GAXB SUN30G to knowndrives table
525  [PW] Added Western Digital Caviar AC12500, AC24300, AC25100, AC36400,
526       and AC38400 to knowndrives table
527  [BA] When printing ATA error log, print the LBA at which READ
528       or WRITE commands failed.
529  [BA] Changed syntax of error message in smartctl
530  [BA] Added versioning info (-V options to smartd/smartctl) for
531       Solaris ATA module.
532
533* Thu Feb 12 2004 Bruce Allen  <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
534  [KS] Added ATA/IDE support for Solaris/SPARC (ATA/IDE not yet for
535       Solaris/x86).
536  [BA] 3ware controllers: documented that one can monitor any of the
537       physical disks from any of the 3ware /dev/sd? logical devices.
538       Better warnings if querying a disk that does not exist.
539  [PW] Added Hitachi Travelstar DK23DA series, Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 40
540       series, Western Digital Caviar WDxxxAA, WDxxxBA, and WDxxxAB series
541       to knowndrives table
542  [BA] missing 'pragma pack' on ATA IDENIFY DEVICE structure may have
543       caused odd or incorrect results on 64-bit machines.
544  [BA] smartctl/smartd allow inspection of self-test and error logs even
545       if disk firmware claims that these don't exist.  This is needed
546       for some Maxtor disks whose firmware does not indicate log support
547       even though the disk DOES support it.
548  [BA] Improved porting instructions and documentation in os_generic.c
549  [PW] Add Western Digital Caviar WD136AA and SAMSUNG SP40A2H (RR100-07
550       firmware) to knowndrives table.
551  [EM] FreeBSD: remove extra definition of FreeNonZero
552  [BA] smartctl: the -q silent option was printing output for some
553       error conditions.  Fixed.  Will rename relevant variables to help
554       avoid these errors in the future.
555  [SS] NetBSD port added.
556  [BA] more sensible error messages for devfs and devfs-like systems.
557       Instead of saying that the DIRECTORY does not exist, say that
558       the DEVICE does not exist.
559  [BA] smartd: added -n Directive, to prevent disk spin-up depending
560       upon the power mode (SLEEP, STANDBY, or IDLE).
561  [PW] Added Maxtor DiamondMax 20 VL series, Fujitsu MPF series,
562       Maxtor DiamondMax 36 series, Maxtor DiamondMax 4320 series, and
563       Maxtor DiamondMax 536DX series to knowndrives table.
564  [BA] many warning messages now give the file name AND VERSION
565  [BA] smartd: when the user provides multiple address recipients
566       to the '-m' Directive in a comma-delineated list, the commas
567       are stripped out before passing the list of addresses to the
568       mailer program. (Thanks to Calin A. Culianu for pointing this out
569       and providing a patch.)
570  [BA] smartd: when the '-M exec path' Directive is used, any stdout OR
571       stderr output from the executable "path" is assumed to indicate a
572       problem, and is echoed to SYSLOG.
573  [BA] Added all missing IBM/Hitachi Deskstar 180GXP models to knowndrives
574       table.
575  [PW] Added some missing IBM/Hitachi Deskstar 120GXP models to knowndrives
576       table.
577  [PW] Added IBM Travelstar 14GS to knowndrives table.
578  [PW] Modified knowndrives table to match entire Hitachi Travelstar
579       DK23BA and DK23EA series of drives (thanks to Norikatsu Shigemura
580       for submitting the patch).
581  [PW] Added some missing Fujitsu MPE series drives to knowndrives table.
582  [PW] Added TOSHIBA MK4019GAX, TOSHIBA MK6409MAV, and QUANTUM
583       FIREBALLlct15 20 to knowndrives table.
584  [EM] Fixup example command output for FreeBSD
585  [PW] Added Maxtor DiamondMax 80 family to knowndrives table.
586  [EM] Catch up FreeBSD code to switch PROJECTHOME to PACKAGE_HOMEPAGE
587       macros.
588  [BA] smartd: now watches stdout/stderr when trying to run mail, mailx
589       or mail warning script, and reports any output to SYSLOG.  This
590       gives a clearer error message if something is wrong.
591  [BA] smartd: Solaris init script modified to accomodate grep that
592       lacks '-q' quiet option.  Also check for running process to kill
593       on stop.
594  [PW] Added some missing Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 and 7200.7 Plus drives
595       to knowndrives table.
596  [PW] Added Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 60 family and Seagate U Series 5 20413
597       to knowndrives table.
598  [BA] smartd: under Solaris, made default mailer be 'mailx' not
599       'mail', since Solaris 'mail' does not accept a '-s' argument.
600       A workaround for Solaris users of earlier versions is to
601       have '-M exec /bin/mailx' in their smartd.conf config file.
602  [DG] some SCSI controllers don't like odd length transfers so make
603       sure LOG SENSE transfers are rounded up to an even number when
604       and odd length is reported (i.e. there is a double fetch, the
605       first to find the length, the second gets the data)
606  [BA] smartd man pages: under Solaris, correct section numbers in the
607       'See also' section.
608  [KS/BA] smartd man page: describe how to set Solaris syslog.conf
609       file to catch all messages.  Give correct Solaris SYSLOG default
610       path /var/adm/messages in man pages.
611  [BA] smartd: incorporated Debian startup script submitted by user.
612  [BA] smartctl: modified printing of self-test log entry number.  Seagate
613       firmware can leave 'holes' in the self-test log while a test is
614       actually running.  We now print entry numbers consistently in this
615       case, not assuming that entries are contiguous.
616  [PW] Added QUANTUM FIREBALL CX10.2A and Western Digital Caviar AC23200L
617       to knowndrives table.
618  [PW] Added QUANTUM FIREBALLlct20 20 to knowndrives table.
619  [PW] Added Maxtor DiamondMax Plus D740X family to knowndrives table.
620  [PW] Added IBM Travelstar 32GH, 30GT, and 20GN family to knowndrives
621       table.
622  [BA] Slackware init script modified to search for /etc/slackware-version
623       rather than /etc/slackware-release.
624  [PW] Added Seagate Barracuda ATA II family and TOSHIBA MK4019GAXB to
625       knowndrives table.
626  [GG] explain howto use autoreconf in autogen.sh
627  [KS] Makefile.am/configure.in: changed manual page sections for
628       Solaris.
629  [BA] smartd: reduced number of scheduled self-test messages if
630       test already run in current hour.
631  [PW] Added Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 8 family to knowndrives table.
632  [BA] linux: check for linux/hdreg.h.  If it's there, use it. If
633       not, provide the necessary definitions ourselves.
634  [PW] Removed warning for IBM Deskstar 40GV & 75GXP series drives
635       with TXAOA5AA firmware
636  [PW] Added IBM Travelstar 25GS, 18GT, and 12GN family to knowndrives
637       table.
638  [PW] Added IBM/Hitachi Travelstar 60GH & 40GN family to knowndrives
639       table.
640  [BA] smartd: made '-s' Directive more efficient.  Now store
641       compiled regex, and re-use.  If device lacks certain self-test
642       capabilities, track it and don't try again.
643  [BA] smartd: made memory allocation for device lists completely
644       dynamic (eliminating compile-time maximum length constants).
645  [PW] Removed warning for SAMSUNG SP0802N with TK100-23 firmware
646  [PW] Added Seagate Barracuda ATA IV family to knowndrives table.
647  [BA] smartd: reduce per-device memory footprint by making
648       mail-warning info dynamically allocated.  Also remove
649       potential memory leak if use has -m Directive twice and
650       keeps reloading the config file (highly unlikely this would
651       ever be noticed!) 
652  [DG] smartd: added SCSI scheduled self-tests (Background
653       short or extended).
654  [BA] smartd: can now run scheduled offline immediate and
655       self-tests.  See man page and -s Directive for details.
656  [GG] don't include manpages in make-dist-tarball.
657  [BA] smartctl: on-line examples given with -h are now correct
658       for solaris and linux, but wrong for freebsd.  Ed?
659  [BA] smartd: man page now explains device scanning for solaris as
660       well as linux and freebsd.
661  [BA] smartd/smartctl: man pages now report correct CVS tag release
662       date, and executables '-V' options reports more build info.
663
664* Sat Nov 29 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
665  [BA] Improved user messages that appear from 'make install'
666  [PW] Removed warning for SAMSUNG SP1213N with firmware TL100-23
667  [BA] incorporated SuSE init script from user.
668  [DG] if SCSI device is read only, then open it read only.
669  [BA] when compiled on non-supported system (NOT linux, freebsd or solaris) then
670       the run-time error messages now clearly say 'your system is not supported'
671       and give clear directions.
672  [BA] ./configure script now works correctly on SuSE linux boxes
673  [BA] minor improvements to man pages
674  [BA] simplified detection of packet (ATAPI, CD) devices.
675  [BA] init script (redhat, mandrake, yellowdog) now uses correct
676       strings for translation and is slightly more standard.
677  [DG] smartctl: output scsi Seagate vendor pages for disks (not tapes)
678* Wed Nov 19 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
679  [DG] smartd/smartctl: changed scsiClearControlGLTSD() to
680       scsiSetControlGLTSD() with an 'enabled' argument so '-S on'
681       and '-S off' work for SCSI devices (if changing GLTSD supported).
682  [BA] smartd/smartctl: wired in scsiClearControlGLTSD(). Could still
683       use a corresponding Set function.  Left stubs for this purpose.
684  [DG] scsicmds: added scsiClearControlGLTSD() [still to be wired in]
685  [BA] smartctl: make SCSI -T options behave the same way as the
686       ATA ones.
687  [DG] smartctl: output scsi transport protocol if available
688  [DG] scsi: stop device scan in smartd and smartctl if badly formed
689       mode response [heuristic to filter out USB devices before we
690       (potentially) lock them up].
691  [BA] smartd: deviceclose()->CloseDevice(). Got rid of SCSIDEVELOPMENT
692       macro-enabled code.  Added -W to list of gcc specific options to
693       always enable. Made code clean for -W warnings.
694  [PW] Added Maxtor DiamondMax VL 30 family to knowndrives table.
695  [DG] scsi: add warning (when '-l error' active) if Control mode page
696       GLTSD bit is set (global disable of saving log counters)
697  [DG] scsi: remember mode sense cmd length. Output trip temperature
698       from IE lpage (IBM extension) when unavailable from temp lpage.
699  [BA] smartd: for both SCSI and ATA now warns user if either
700       the number of self-test errors OR timestamp of most
701       recent self-test error have increased.
702  [DG] smartctl: output Seagate scsi Cache and Factory log pages (if
703       available) when vendor attributes chosen
704  [DG] smartd: add scsiCountFailedSelfTests() function.
705  [DG] Do more sanity checking of scsi log page responses.
706  [BA] smartd: now warns user if number of self-test errors has
707       increased for SCSI devices.
708  [BA] smartd: warn user if number of ATA self-test errors increases
709       (as before) OR if hour time stamp of most recent self-test
710       error changes.
711  [DG] More checks for well formed mode page responses. This has the side
712       effect of stopping scans on bad SCSI implementations (e.g. some
713       USB disks) prior to sending commands (typically log sense) that
714       locks them up.
715  [PW] Added Western Digital Caviar family and Caviar SE family to
716       knowndrives table.
717  [BA] smartd: added -l daemon (which is the default value if -l
718       is not used).
719  [PW] Added Seagate Barracuda ATA V family to knowndrives table.
720  [BA] smartd: added additional command line argument -l FACILITY
721       or --logfacility FACILITY.  This can be used to redirect
722       messages from smartd to a different file than the one used
723       by other system daemons.
724  [PW] Added Seagate Barracuda 7200.7, Western Digital Protege WD400EB,
725       and Western Digital Caviar AC38400 to knowndrives table.
726  [BA] smartd: scanning should now also work correctly for
727       devfs WITHOUT traditional links /dev/hd[a-t] or /dev/sd[a-z].
728  [PW] Added Maxtor 4W040H3, Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 Plus,
729       IBM Deskstar 120GXP (40GB), Seagate U Series 20410,
730       Fujitsu MHM2100AT, MHL2300AT, MHM2150AT, and IBM-DARA-212000
731       to knowndrives table.
732  [PW] Added remaining Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 models to knowndrives
733       table.
734  [EM] smartd: If no matches found, then return 0, rather than an error
735       indication, as it just means no devices of the given type exist.
736       Adjust FreeBSD scan code to mirror Linux version.
737  [BA] smartd: made device scan code simpler and more robust. If
738       too many devices detected, warn user but scan as many
739       as possible.  If error in scanning, warn user but don't
740       die right away.
741  [EM] smartd: To keep as consistent as possible, migrate FreeBSD
742       devicescan code to also use glob(3). Also verified clean
743       compile on a 4.7 FreeBSD system.
744  [BA] smartd: Modified device scan code to use glob(3). Previously
745       it appeared to have trouble when scanning devices on an XFS
746       file system, and used non-public interface to directory
747       entries. Problems were also reported when /dev/ was on an
748       ext2/3 file system, but there was a JFS partition on the same
749       disk.
750  [BA] Clearer error messages when device scanning finds no suitable
751       devices.
752  [EM] FreeBSD: Fixup code to allow for proper compilation under
753       -STABLE branch.
754
755* Fri Oct 31 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
756- [BA] smartd: didn't close file descriptors of ATA packet devices
757       that are scanned. Fixed.
758- [BA] Added reload/report targets to the smartmontools init script.
759       reload: reloads config file
760       report: send SIGUSR1 to check devices now

762* Mon Oct 27 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
763- [EM] Fix compile issues for FreeBSD < 5-CURRENT.
764- [PW] Added Fujitsu MHM2200AT to knowndrives table.
765- [BA] To help catch bugs, clear ATA error structures before all
766       ioctl calls.  Disable code that attempted to time-out on SCSI
767       devices when they hung (doesn't work).
768- [BA] Documented STATUS/ERROR flags added by [PW] below.
769- [BA] Improved algorithm to recognize ATA packet devices. Should
770       no longer generate SYSLOG kernel noise when user tries either
771       smartd or smartctl on packet device (CD-ROM or DVD).  Clearer
772       warning messages from smartd when scanning ATA packet device.
773- [PW] Added TOSHIBA MK4025GAS to knowndrives table.
774- [PW] Added a textual interpretation of the status and error registers
775       in the SMART error log (ATA).  The interpretation is
776       command-dependent and currently only eight commands are supported
777       (those which produced errors in the error logs that I happen to
778       have seen).
779- [BA] added memory allocation tracking to solaris code.
780       Fixed solaris signal handling (reset handler to default
781       after first call to handler) by using sigset. Added
782       HAVE_SIGSET to configure.in
783- [CD] solaris port: added SCSI functionality to solaris
784       stubs.
785- [BA] smartd: attempt to address bug report about smartd
786       hanging on USB devices when scanning:
787       https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=107615
788       Set a timeout of SCSITIMEOUT (nominally 7 seconds) before
789       giving up.
790- [EM] smartd: DEVICESCAN will follow links in a devfs filesystem and
791       make sure the end point is a disc.  Update documentation, added
792       note about FreeBSD scanning
793- [BA] smartd: DEVICESCAN also looks for block devices in
794       /dev.  Updated documentation.  Now scans for up to
795       20 ATA devices /dev/hda-t rather than previous 12
796       /dev/hda-l.
797- [EM] smartd: mirror the FreeBSD DEVICESCAN logic for Linux,
798       so that smartd now scans only devices found in /dev/. Also,
799       make utility memory functions take a line number and file so
800       that we report errors with the correct location.
801- [GG] add a note about Debian bug #208964 to WARNINGS.
802- [BA] smartctl: -T verypermissive option broken.  Use
803       -T verpermissive until the next release, please.
804- [BA] Syntax mods so that code also compiles on Solaris using
805       Sun Workshop compiler.  Need -xmemalign 1i -xCC flags
806       for cc.
807
808* Wed Oct 15 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
809  [DK] Changed configure.in so -Wall is only included if gcc
810       is used (this is a gcc specific flag) and -fsignedchar
811       is not used at all (this is a gcc specific compiler
812       flag).
813  [BA] Modifications so that code now compiles under solaris. Now
814       all that's needed (:-) is to fill in os_solaris.[hc].  Added
815       os_generic.[hc] as guide to future ports.  Fixed -D option
816       of smartd (no file name).  Modified -h opt of smartd/smartctl
817       to work properly with solaris getopt().
818  [EM] Update MAN pages with notes that 3ware drives are NOT supported
819        under FreeBSD. Cleanup FreeBSD warning message handling.
820  [EM] FreeBSD only: Fix first user found bug....I guess I was making
821       the wrong assumption on how to convert ATA devnames to
822       channel/unit numbers.
823  [EM] Allow for option --enable-sample to append '.sample' to installed
824        smartd.conf and rc script files. Also, let rc script shell setting
825        be determined by configure
826  [EM] Minor autoconf update to include -lcam for FreeBSD
827  [EM] Add conditional logic to allow FreeBSD to compile pre-ATAng.
828        -- note, not tested
829        Add some documentation to INSTALL for FreeBSD.
830  [EM] Implement SCSI CAM support for FreeBSD.  NOTE: I am not an expert
831        in the use of CAM.  It seems to work for me, but I may be doing
832        something horribly wrong, so please exercise caution.
833  [EM] Switch over to using 'atexit' rather than 'on_exit' routine. This also
834        meant we needed to save the exit status elsewhere so our 'Goodbye'
835        routine could examine it.
836  [EM] Move the DEVICESCAN code to os specific files. Also moved some of the
837        smartd Memory functions to utility.c to make available to smartctl.
838  [EM] Code janitor work on os_freebsd.c.
839  [EM] Added os_freebsd.[hc] code.  Additional code janitor
840       work.
841  [BA] Code janitor working, moving OS dependent code into
842       os_linux.[hc].
843  [GG] conditionally compile os_{freebsd,linux}.o depending on
844       host architecture
845  [PW] Print estimated completion time for tests
846  [BA] Added -F samsung2 flag to correct firmware byte swap.
847       All samsung drives with *-23 firmware revision string.
848
849* Sun Oct 05 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
850- [GG] Fixed broken Makefile.am (zero length smartd.conf.5
851       was being created)
852- [FM] Improved Slackware init script added to /etc/smartd.initd
853
854* Fri Oct 03 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
855- [BA] smartctl: added '-T verypermissive' option which is
856       equivalent to giving '-T permissive' many times.
857- [BA] Try harder to identify from IDENTIFY DEVICE structure
858       if SMART supported/enabled.  smartd now does a more
859       thorough job of trying to assess this before sending
860       a SMART status command to find out for sure.
861- [BA] smartctl: it's now possible to override the program's
862       guess of the device type (ATA or SCSI) with -d option.
863- [BA] try hard to avoid sending IDENTIFY DEVICE to packet
864       devices (CDROMS).  They can't do SMART, and this generates
865       annoying syslog messages. At the same time, identify type
866       of Packet device.
867- [BA] smartctl: Can now use permissive option more
868       than once, to control how far to go before giving up.
869- [BA] smartd: if user asked to monitor either error or self-test
870       logs (-l error or -l selftest) WITHOUT monitoring any of the
871       Attribute values, code will SEGV.  For 5.1-18 and earlier,
872       a good workaround is to enable Auto offline (-o on).
873- [BA] smartctl: If enable auto offline command given, update auto
874       offline status before printing capabilities.
875- [GG] Make autotools build the default, remove autotools.diff
876- [GG] Add auto{conf,make} support, not enabled by default.
877- [BA] Eliminated #include <linux/hdreg.h> from code. This
878       should simplify porting to solaris, FreeBSD, etc. The
879       only linux-specific code is now isolated to three routines,
880       one for SCSI, one for Escalade, one for ATA.
881
882* Fri Aug 22 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
883- [BA] smartd: fixed serious bug - Attributes not monitored unless
884       user told smartd to ignore at least one of them!
885
886* Tue Aug 19 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
887- [BA] Default runlevels for smartd changed from 3 and 5 to
888       2, 3, 4, and 5.
889- [BA] Removed as much dynamic memory allocation as possible from
890       configuration file parsing. Reloading config file, even in
891       presence of syntax errors etc. should not cause memory leaks.
892- [PW] It is no longer permissible for the integer part (if any) of
893       arguments to --report and --device to be followed by non-digits.
894       For example, the "foo" in --report=ioctl,2foo was previously
895       ignored, but now causes an error.
896- [BA] smartd: added -q/--quit command line option to specify
897       under what circumstances smartd should exit.  The old
898       -c/--checkonce option is now obsoleted by this more
899       general-purpose option.
900- [BA] smartd now responds to a HUP signal by re-reading its
901       configuration file /etc/smartd.conf.  If there are
902       errors in this file, then the configuration file is
903       ignored and smartd continues to monitor the devices that
904       it was monitoring prior to receiving the HUP signal.
905- [BA] Now correctly get SMART status from disks behind 3ware
906       controllers, thanks to Adam Radford. Need 3w-xxxx driver
907       version 1.02.00.037 or later. Previously the smartmontools
908       SMART status always returned "OK" for 3ware controllers.
909- [BA] Additional work on dynamic memory allocation/deallocation.
910       This should have no effect on smartctl, but clears that way
911       for smartd to dynamically add and remove entries.  It should
912       also now be easier to modify smartd to re-read its config
913       file on HUP (which is easy) without leaking memory (which is
914       harder). The philosophy is that memory for data structures in
915       smartd is now allocated only on demand, the first time it
916       is needed.
917- [BA] smartd: finished cleanup.  Now use create/rm functions for
918       cfgentries and dynamic memory allocation almost everywhere.
919       Philosophy: aggresively try and provoke SEGV to help find
920       bad code.
921- [BA] Added SAMSUNG SV0412H to knowndrives table.
922- [BA] smartd: if DEVICESCAN used then knowndrives table might not set
923       the -v attributes correctly -- may have been the same for all
924       the drives.  Cleaned up some data structures and memory
925       allocation to try and ensure segvs if such problems are
926       introduced again.
927- [BA] Now allow -S on and -o on for the 3ware device type.  For these
928       commands to be passed through, the stock 3ware 3w-xxxx driver
929       must be patched (8 lines).  I'll post a patch on the smartmontools
930       home page after it's been tested by a few other people and 3ware
931       have had a chance to look it over.
932
933* Wed Aug 06 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
934- [BA] smartd - can now monitor ATA drives behind 3ware controllers.
935- [BA] smartd - changed some FATAL out of memory error messages from
936       syslog level LOG_INFO to LOG_CRIT.
937- [BA] smartctl - added code to look at ATA drives behind 3ware RAID
938       controllers using the 3w-xxxx driver.  Note that for technical
939       reasons related to the 3w-xxxx driver, the "Enable Autosave",
940       "Enable Automatic Offline" commands are not implemented.
941       I will add this to smartd shortly.
942- [BA] smartd - modified sleep loop, so that smartd no longer comes
943       on the run queue every second.  Instead, unless interrupted,
944       it sleeps until the next polling time, when it wakes up. Now
945       smartd also tries to wake up at exactly the right
946       intervals (nominally 30 min) even if the user has been sending
947       signals to it.
948- [GG] add Fujitsu MHN2300AT to vendoropts_9_seconds.
949- [EB] Fujitsu change in knowndrives ... match the whole MPD and
950       MPE series for vendoropts_9_seconds.
951- [BA] smartd bug, might cause segv if a device can not be opened. Was
952       due to missing comma in char* list.  Consequence is that email
953       failure messages might have had the wrong Subject: heading for
954       errorcount, FAILEDhealthcheck, FAILEDreadsmartdata, FAILEDreadsmarterrorlog,
955       FAILEDreadsmartsefltestlog, FAILEDopendevice were all displaced by
956       one.  And FAILEDopendevice might have caused a segv if -m was being
957       used as a smartd Directive.
958
959* Wed Jul 23 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
960- [BA] Cleaned up smartmontools.spec so that upgrading, removing
961       and other such operations correctly preserve running behavior
962       and booting behavior of smartd.
963- [BA] Improved formatting of ATA Error Log printout, and added
964       listing of names of commands that caused the error. Added
965       obsolete ATA-4 SMART feature commands to table, along with
966       obsolete SFF-8035i SMART feature command.
967- [PW] Added atacmdnames.[hc], which turn command register &
968       feature register pairs into ATA command names.
969- [BA] Added conveyance self-test.  Some code added for selective
970       self-tests, but #ifdefed out.
971- [BA] Modified smartd exit status and log levels.  If smartd is
972       "cleanly" terminated, for example with SIGTERM, then its
973       exit messages are now logged at LOG_INFO not LOG_CRIT
974- [BA] Added Attribute IDs  (Fujitsu) 0xCA - 0xCE.  This is decimal
975       202-206. Added -v switches for interpretation of Attributes
976       192, 198 and 201.
977- [BA] Made smartmontools work with any endian order machine for:
978       - SMART selftest log
979       - SMART ATA error log
980       - SMART Attributes values
981       - SMART Attributes thesholds
982       - IDENTIFY DEVICE information
983       - LOG DIRECTORY
984       Smartmontools is now free of endian bias and works correctly
985       on both little- and big-endian hardware.  This has been tested by
986       three independent PPC users on a variety of ATA and SCSI hardware.
987- [DG] Check that certain SCSI command responses are well formed. If
988       IEC mode page response is not well formed exit smartctl. This
989       is to protect aacraid. smartd should ignore a aacraid device.
990
991* Mon Jun 16 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
992- [BA] smartctl: added column to -A output to show if Attributes are
993       updated only during off-line testing or also during normal
994       operation.
995
996* Thu Jun 10 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
997- [BA] smartd: attempt to enable/disable automatic offline testing even
998       if the disk appears not to support it.  Now the same logic
999       as smartctl.
1000- [BA] Added definition of Attribute 201, soft read error rate.
1001- [BA] Added IBM/Hitachi IC35L120AVV207-1 (GXP-180) and corresponding
1002       8MB Cache GXP-120 to drive database.
1003- [BA] smartd: if DEVICESCAN Directive used in smartd.conf, and
1004       -I, -R or -r Directives used in conjunction with this, got
1005       segv errors.  Fixed by correcting memory allocation calls.
1006- [BA] smartd: enable automatic offline testing was broken due
1007       to cut-and-paste error that disabled it instead of
1008       enabling it.  Thanks to Maciej W. Rozycki for pointing
1009       out the problem and solution.
1010- [BA] Fixed "spelling" of some Attribute names to replace spaces
1011       in names by underscores. (Fixed field width easier for awk
1012       style parsing.)
1013- [BA] Added mods submitted by Guilhem Frezou to support Attribute 193
1014       being load/unload cycles. Add -v 193,loadunload option, useful
1015       for Hitachi drive DK23EA-30, and add this drive to knowndrive.c
1016       Add meaning of attribute 250 : Read error retry rate
1017- [BA] Added another entry for Samsung drives to knowndrive table.
1018- [DG] Refine SCSI log sense command to do a double fetch in most cases
1019       (but not for the TapeAlert log page). Fix TapeAlert and Self Test
1020       log pgae response truncation.
1021- [PW] Added 'removable' argument to -d Directive for smartd.  This indicates
1022       that smartd should continue (rather than exit) if the device does not
1023       appear to be present.
1024- [BA] Modified smartmontools.spec [Man pages location] and
1025       smartd.initd [Extra space kills chkconfig!] for Redhat 6.x
1026       compatibility (thanks to Gerald Schnabel).
1027
1028* Wed May 7 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1029- [EB] Add another Fujitsu disk to knowndrives.c
1030- [GG] match for scsi/ and ide/ in case of devfs to exclude false postives
1031- [BA] If SCSI device listed in /etc/smartd.conf fails to open or do
1032       SMART stuff correctly, or not enough space
1033       to list all SCSI devices, fail with error unless
1034       -DSCSIDEVELOPMENT set during compile-time.
1035- [BA] Added automatic recognition of /dev/i* (example: /dev/ide/...)
1036       as an ATA device.
1037- [DG] Add "Device type: [disk | tape | medium changer | ...]" line to
1038       smartctl -i output for SCSI devices.
1039- [PW] Fixed bug in smartd where test email would be sent regularly (for
1040       example, daily if the user had specified -M daily) instead of just
1041       once on startup.
1042- [KM] More TapeAlert work. Added translations for media changer
1043       alerts. TapeAlert support reported according to the log page
1044       presence. ModeSense not attempted for non-ready tapes (all
1045       drives do not support this after all). Get peripheral type from
1046       Inquiry even if drive info is not printed. Add QUIETON()
1047       QUIETOFF() to TapeAlert log check.
1048- [BA] Stupid bug in atacmds.c minor_str[] affected ataVersionInfo().
1049       Two missing commas meant that minor_str[] had two few elements,
1050       leading to output like this:
1051       Device Model:     Maxtor 6Y120L0
1052       Serial Number:    Y40BF74E
1053       Firmware Version: YAR41VW0
1054       Device is:        Not in smartctl database [for details use: -P showall]
1055       ATA Version is:   7
1056       ATA Standard is:  9,minutes
1057                         ^^^^^^^^^
1058       Missing commas inserted.
1059- [BA] Fixed smartd bug.  On device registration, if ATA device did
1060       not support SMART error or self-test logs but user had asked to
1061       monitor them, an attempt would be made to read them anyway,
1062       possibly generating "Drive Seek" errors.  We now check that
1063       the self-test and error logs are supported before trying to
1064       access them the first time.
1065- [GG/BA] Fixed bug where if SMART ATA error log not supported,
1066       command was tried anyway. Changed some error printing to use
1067       print handlers.
1068- [GG] Makefile modifications to ease packaging
1069- [DG] Did work for TapeAlerts (SCSI). Now can detect /dev/nst0 as a
1070       SCSI device. Also open SCSI devices O_NONBLOCK so they don't
1071       hang on open awaiting media. The ATA side should worry about
1072       this also: during a DEVICESCAN a cd/dvd device without media
1073       will hang. Added some TapeAlert code suggested by Kai Makisara.
1074
1075* Mon Apr 21 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1076- [PW] Extended the -F option/Directive to potentially fix other firmware
1077       bugs in addition to the Samsung byte-order bug.  Long option name is
1078       now --firmwarebug and the option/Directive accepts an argument
1079       indicating the type of firmware bug to fix.
1080- [BA] Fixed a bug that prevented the enable automatic off-line
1081       test feature from enabling.  It also prevented the enable Attribute
1082       autosave from working.  See CVS entry for additional details.
1083- [PW] Modified the -r/--report option (smartctl and smartd) to allow the
1084       user to specify the debug level as a positive integer.
1085- [BA] Added --log directory option to smartctl.  If the disk
1086       supports the general-purpose logging feature set (ATA-6/7)
1087       then this option enables the Log Directory to be printed.
1088       This Log Directory shows which device logs are available, and
1089       their lengths in sectors.
1090- [PW] Added -P/--presets option to smartctl and -P Directive to smartd.
1091- [GG] Introduce different exit codes indicating the type of problem
1092       encountered for smartd.
1093- [DG] Add non-medium error count to '-l error' and extended self test
1094       duration to '-l selftest'. Get scsi IEs and temperature changes
1095       working in smartd. Step over various scsi disk problems rather
1096       than abort smartd startup.
1097- [DG] Support -l error for SCSI disks (and tapes). Output error counter
1098       log pages.
1099- [BA] Added -F/--fixbyteorder option to smartctl.  This allows us to read
1100       SMART data from some disks that have byte-reversed two- and four-
1101       byte quantities in their SMART data structures.
1102- [BA] Fixed serious bug: the -v options in smartd.conf were all put
1103       together and used together, not drive-by-drive.
1104- [PW] Added knowndrives.h and knowndrives.c.  The knowndrives array
1105       supersedes the drivewarnings array.
1106- [GG] add {-p,--pidfile} option to smartd to write a PID file on
1107       startup. Update the manpage accordingly.
1108- [DG] Fix scsi smartd problem detecting SMART support. More cleaning
1109       and fix (and rename) scsiTestUnitReady(). More scsi renaming.
1110- [BA] Fixed smartd so that if a disk that is explictily listed is not
1111       found, then smartd will exit with nonzero status BEFORE forking.
1112       If a disk can't be registered, this will also be detected before
1113       forking, so that init scripts can react correctly.
1114- [BA] Replaced all linux-specific ioctl() calls in atacmds.c with
1115       a generic handler smartcommandhandler().  Now the only routine
1116       that needs to be implemented for a given OS is os_specific_handler().
1117       Also implemented the --report ataioctl. This provides
1118       two levels of reporting.  Using the option once gives a summary
1119       report of device IOCTL transactions.  Using the option twice give
1120       additional info (a printout of ALL device raw 512 byte SMART
1121       data structures).  This is useful for debugging.
1122- [DG] more scsi cleanup. Output scsi device serial number (VPD page
1123       0x80) if available as part of '-i'. Implement '-t offline' as
1124       default self test (only self test older disks support).
1125- [BA] Changed crit to info in loglevel of smartd complaint to syslog
1126       if DEVICESCAN enabled and device not found.
1127- [BA] Added -v 194,10xCelsius option/Directive. Raw Attribute number
1128       194 is ten times the disk temperature in Celsius.
1129- [DG] scsicmds.[hc] + scsiprint.c: clean up indentation, remove tabs.
1130       Introduce new intermediate interface based on "struct scsi_cmnd_io"
1131       to isolate SCSI generic commands + responses from Linux details;
1132       should help port to FreeBSD of SCSI part of smartmontools.
1133       Make SCSI command builders more parametric.
1134
1135* Thu Mar 13 2003  Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1136- [BA] smartctl: if HDIO_DRIVE_TASK ioctl() is not implemented (no
1137       kernel support) then try to assess drive health by examining
1138       Attribute values/thresholds directly.
1139- [BA] smartd/smartctl: added -v 200,writeerrorcount option/Directive
1140       for Fujitsu disks.
1141- [BA] smartd: Now send email if any of the SMART commands fails,
1142       or if open()ing the device fails.  This is often noted
1143       as a common disk failure mode.
1144- [BA] smartd/smartctl: Added -v N,raw8 -v N,raw16 and -v N,raw48
1145       Directives/Options for printing Raw Attributes in different
1146       Formats.
1147- [BA] smartd: Added -r ID and -R ID for reporting/tracking Raw
1148       values of Attributes.
1149- [BA] smartd/smartctl: Changed printing of spin-up-time attribute
1150       raw value to reflect current/average as per IBM standard.
1151- [BA] smartd/smartctl: Added -v 9,seconds option for disks which
1152       use Attribute 9 for power-on lifetime in seconds.
1153- [BA] smartctl: Added a warning message so that users of some IBM
1154       disks are warned to update their firmware.  Note: we may want
1155       to add a command-line flag to disable the warning messages.
1156       I have done this in a general way, using regexp, so that we
1157       can add warnings about any type of disk that we wish..
1158
1159* Wed Feb 12 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1160- [BA] smartd: Created a subdirectory examplescripts/ of source
1161       directory that contains executable scripts for the -M exec PATH
1162       Directive of smartd.
1163- [BA] smartd: DEVICESCAN in /etc/smartd.conf
1164       can now be followed by all the same Directives as a regular
1165       device name like /dev/hda takes.  This allows one to use
1166       (for example):
1167       DEVICESCAN -m root@example.com
1168       in the /etc/smartd.conf file.
1169- [BA] smartd: Added -c (--checkonce) command-line option. This checks
1170       all devices once, then exits.  The exit status can be
1171       used to learn if devices were detected, and if smartd is
1172       functioning correctly. This is primarily for Distribution
1173       scripters.
1174- [BA] smartd: Implemented -M exec Directive for
1175       smartd.conf.  This makes it possible to run an
1176       arbitrary script or mailing program with the
1177       -m option.
1178- [PW] smartd: Modified -M Directive so that it can be given
1179       multiple times.  Added -M exec Directive.
1180
1181* Tue Jan 21 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1182- [BA] Fixed bug in smartctl pointed out by Pierre Gentile.
1183       -d scsi didn't work because tryata and tryscsi were
1184       reversed -- now works on /devfs SCSI devices.
1185- [BA] Fixed bug in smartctl pointed out by Gregory Goddard
1186       <ggoddard@ufl.edu>.  Manual says that bit 6 of return
1187       value turned on if errors found in smart error log.  But
1188       this wasn't implemented.
1189- [BA] Modified printing format for 9,minutes to read
1190       Xh+Ym not X h + Y m, so that fields are fixed width.
1191- [BA] Added Attribute 240 "head flying hours"
1192
1193* Sun Jan 12 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1194- [BA] As requested, local time/date now printed by smartctl -i
1195
1196* Thu Jan 9 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1197- [PW] Added 'help' argument to -v for smartctl
1198- [PW] Added -D, --showdirectives option to smartd
1199
1200* Sat Jan 4 2003 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1201- [DG] add '-l selftest' capability for SCSI devices (update smartctl.8)
1202- [BA] smartd,smartctl: added additional Attribute modification option
1203  -v 220,temp and -v 9,temp.
1204- [PW] Renamed smartd option -X to -d
1205- [PW] Changed smartd.conf Directives -- see man page
1206- [BA/DG] Fixed uncommented comment in smartd.conf
1207- [DG] Correct 'Recommended start stop count' for SCSI devices
1208- [PW] Replaced smartd.conf directive -C with smartd option -i
1209- [PW] Changed options for smartctl -- see man page.
1210- [BA] Use strerror() to generate system call error messages.
1211- [BA] smartd: fflush() all open streams before fork().
1212- [BA] smartctl, smartd simplified internal handling of checksums
1213  for simpler porting and less code.
1214
1215* Sun Dec 8 2002 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1216- [PW] smartd --debugmode changed to --debug
1217- [BA] smartd/smartctl added attribute 230 Head Amplitude from
1218  IBM DPTA-353750.
1219- [PW] Added list of proposed new options for smartctl to README.
1220- [PW] smartd: ParseOpts() now uses getopt_long() if HAVE_GETOPT_LONG is
1221  defined and uses getopt() otherwise.  This is controlled by CPPFLAGS in
1222  the Makefile.
1223- [BA] smartd: Fixed a couple of error messages done with perror()
1224  to redirect them as needed.
1225- [BA] smartctl: The -O option to enable an Immediate off-line test
1226  did not print out the correct time that the test would take to
1227  complete.  This is because the test timer is volatile and not
1228  fixed.  This has been fixed, and the smartctl.8 man page has been
1229  updated to explain how to track the Immediate offline test as it
1230  progresses, and to further emphasize the differences between the
1231  off-line immediate test and the self-tests.
1232- [BA] smartd/smartctl: Added new attribute (200) Multi_Zone_Error_Rate
1233- [BA] smartctl: modified so that arguments could have either a single -
1234  as in -ea or multiple ones as in -e -a.  Improved warning message for
1235  device not opened, and fixed error in redirection of error output of
1236  HD identity command.
1237- [PW] smartd: added support for long options.  All short options are still
1238  supported; see manpage for available long options.
1239- [BA] smartctl.  When raw Attribute value was 2^31 or larger, did
1240  not print correctly.
1241
1242* Fri Nov 22 2002 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1243- Allen: smartd: added smartd.conf Directives -T and -s.  The -T Directive
1244  enables/disables Automatic Offline Testing.  The -s Directive
1245  enables/disables Attribute Autosave. Documentation and
1246  example configuration file updated to agree.
1247- Allen: smartd: user can make smartd check the disks at any time
1248  (ie, interrupt sleep) by sending signal SIGUSR1 to smartd.  This
1249  can be done for example with:
1250  kill -USR1 <pid>
1251  where <pid> is the process ID number of smartd.
1252- Bolso: scsi: don't trust the data we receive from the drive too
1253  much. It very well might have errors (like zero response length).
1254  Seen on Megaraid logical drive, and verified in the driver source.
1255- Allen: smartd: added Directive -m for sending test email and
1256  for modifying email reminder behavior.  Updated manual, and sample
1257  configuration file to illustrate & explain this.
1258- Allen: smartd: increased size of a continued smartd.conf line to
1259  1023 characters.
1260- Allen: Simplified Directive parsers and improved warning/error
1261  messages.
1262
1263* Sun Nov 17 2002 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1264- Fixed bug in smartd where testunitready logic inverted
1265  prevented functioning on scsi devices.
1266- Added testunitnotready to smartctl for symmetry with smartd.
1267- Brabec: added Czech descriptions to .spec file
1268- Brabec: corrected comment in smartd.conf example
1269- Changed way that entries in the ATA error log are printed,
1270  to make it clearer which is the most recent error and
1271  which is the oldest one.
1272- Changed Temperature_Centigrade to Temperature_Celsius.
1273  The term "Centigrade" ceased to exist in 1948.  (c.f
1274  http://www.bartleby.com/64/C004/016.html).
1275
1276* Wed Nov 13 2002 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1277- smartd SCSI devices: can now send warning email message on failure
1278- Added a new smartd configuration file Directive: -M ADDRESS.
1279  This sends a single warning email to ADDRESS for failures or
1280  errors detected with the -c, -L, -l, or -f Directives.
1281
1282* Mon Nov 11 2002 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1283- Modified perror() statements in atacmds.c so that printout for SMART
1284  commands errors is properly suppressed or queued depending upon users
1285  choices for error reporting modes.
1286- Added Italian descriptions to smartmontools.spec file.
1287- Started impementing send-mail-on-error for smartd; not yet enabled.
1288 
1289* Sun Nov 10 2002 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1290- Added -P (Permissive) Directive to smartd.conf file to allow SMART monitoring of
1291  pre-ATA-3 Rev 4 disks that have SMART but do not have a SMART capability bit.
1292
1293* Thu Nov 7 2002 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1294- Added a Man section 5 page for smartd.conf
1295- Changed Makefile so that the -V option does not reflect file state
1296  before commit!
1297- modified .spec file so that locale information now contains
1298  character set definition.   Changed pt_BR to pt since we do not use any
1299  aspect other than language.  See man setlocale.
1300- smartctl: added new options -W, -U, and -P to control if and how the
1301  smartctl exits if an error is detected in either a SMART data
1302  structure checksum, or a SMART command returns an error.
1303- modified manual page to break options into slightly more logical
1304  categories.
1305- reformatted 'usage' message order to agree with man page ordering
1306
1307* Mon Nov 4 2002 Bruce Allen  <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1308- smartctl: added new options -n and -N to force device to be ATA or SCSI
1309- smartctl: no longer dies silently if device path does not start/dev/X
1310- smartctl: now handles arbitrary device paths
1311- Added additional macros for manual and sbin paths in this SPEC file.
1312- Modified Makefile to install /etc/smartd.conf, but without overwriting existing config file
1313- Modified this specfile to do the same, and to not remove any files that it did not install
1314
1315* Thu Oct 30 2002 Bruce Allen  <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1316- Fixed typesetting error in man page smartd.8
1317- Removed redundant variable (harmless) from smartd.c
1318
1319* Wed Oct 29 2002 Bruce Allen  <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1320- Added a new directive for the configuration file.  If the word
1321  DEVICESCAN appears before any non-commented material in the
1322  configuration file, then the confi file will be ignored and the
1323  devices wil be scanned.
1324- Note: it has now been confirmed that the code modifications between
1325  5.0.23 and 5.0.24 have eliminated the GCC 3.2 problems.  Note that
1326  there is a GCC bug howerver, see #8404 at
1327  http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8404
1328- Added new Directive for Configuration file:
1329  -C <N> This sets the time in between disk checks to be <N>
1330  seconds apart.  Note that  although  you  can  give
1331  this Directive multiple times on different lines of
1332  the configuration file, only the final  value  that
1333  is  given  has  an  effect,  and applies to all the
1334  disks.  The default value of <N> is 1800  sec,  and
1335  the minimum allowed value is ten seconds.
1336- Problem wasn't the print format. F.L.W. Meunier <0@pervalidus.net>
1337  sent me a gcc 3.2 build and I ran it under a debugger.  The
1338  problem seems to be with passing the very large (2x512+4) byte
1339  data structures as arguments.  I never liked this anyway; it was
1340  inherited from smartsuite.  So I've changed all the heavyweight
1341  functions (ATA ones, anyone) to just passing pointers, not hideous
1342  kB size structures on the stack.  Hopefully this will now build OK
1343  under gcc 3.2 with any sensible compilation options.
1344- Because of reported problems with GCC 3.2 compile, I have gone
1345  thorough the code and explicitly changed all print format
1346  parameters to correspond EXACTLY to int unless they have to be
1347  promoted to long longs.  To quote from the glibc bible: [From
1348  GLIBC Manual: Since the prototype doesn't specify types for
1349  optional arguments, in a call to a variadic function the default
1350  argument promotions are performed on the optional argument
1351  values. This means the objects of type char or short int (whether
1352  signed or not) are promoted to either int or unsigned int, as
1353  required.
1354- smartd, smartctl now warn if they find an attribute whose ID
1355  number does not match between Data and Threshold structures.
1356- Fixed nasty bug which led to wrong number of arguments for a
1357  varargs statement, with attendent stack corruption.  Sheesh!
1358  Have added script to CVS attic to help find such nasties in the
1359  future.
1360
1361* Tue Oct 29 2002 Bruce Allen  <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1362- Eliminated some global variables out of header files and other
1363  minor cleanup of smartd.
1364- Did some revision of the man page for smartd and made the usage
1365  messages for Directives consistent.
1366- smartd: prints warning message when it gets SIGHUP, saying that it is
1367  NOT re-reading the config file.
1368- smartctl: updated man page to say self-test commands -O,x,X,s,S,A
1369  appear to be supported in the code.  [I can't test these,  can anyone
1370  report?]
1371- smartctl: smartctl would previously print the LBA of a self-test
1372  if it completed, and the LBA was not 0 or 0xff...f However
1373  according to the specs this is not correct.  According to the
1374  specs, if the self-test completed without error then LBA is
1375  undefined.  This version fixes that.  LBA value only printed if
1376  self-test encountered an error.
1377- smartd has changed significantly. This is the first CVS checkin of
1378  code that extends the options available for smartd.  The following
1379  options can be placed into the /etc/smartd.conf file, and control the
1380  behavior of smartd.
1381- Configuration file Directives (following device name):
1382  -A     Device is an ATA device
1383  -S     Device is a SCSI device
1384  -c     Monitor SMART Health Status
1385  -l     Monitor SMART Error Log for changes
1386  -L     Monitor SMART Self-Test Log for new errors
1387  -f     Monitor for failure of any 'Usage' Attributes
1388  -p     Report changes in 'Prefailure' Attributes
1389  -u     Report changes in 'Usage' Attributes
1390  -t     Equivalent to -p and -u Directives
1391  -a     Equivalent to -c -l -L -f -t Directives
1392  -i ID  Ignore Attribute ID for -f Directive
1393  -I ID  Ignore Attribute ID for -p, -u or -t Directive
1394  #      Comment: text after a hash sign is ignored
1395  \      Line continuation character
1396- cleaned up functions used for printing CVS IDs.  Now use string
1397  library, as it should be.
1398- modified length of device name string in smartd internal structure
1399  to accomodate max length device name strings
1400- removed un-implemented (-e = Email notification) option from
1401  command line arg list.  We'll put it back on when implemeneted.
1402- smartd now logs serious (fatal) conditions in its operation at
1403  loglevel LOG_CRIT rather than LOG_INFO before exiting with error.
1404- smartd used to open a file descriptor for each SMART enabled
1405- device, and then keep it open the entire time smartd was running.
1406  This meant that some commands, like IOREADBLKPART did not work,
1407  since the fd to the device was open.  smartd now opens the device
1408  when it needs to read values, then closes it.  Also, if one time
1409  around it can't open the device, it simply prints a warning
1410  message but does not give up.  Have eliminated the .fd field from
1411  data structures -- no longer gets used.
1412- smartd now opens SCSI devices as well using O_RDONLY rather than
1413  O_RDWR.  If someone can no longer monitor a SCSI device that used
1414  to be readable, this may well be the reason why.
1415- smartd never checked if the number of ata or scsi devices detected
1416  was greater than the max number it could monitor.  Now it does.
1417
1418* Fri Oct 25 2002 Bruce Allen  <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1419- changes to the Makefile and spec file so that if there are ungzipped manual
1420  pages in place these will be removed so that the new gzipped man pages are
1421  visible.
1422- smartd on startup now looks in the configuration file /etc/smartd.conf for
1423  a list of devices which to include in its monitoring list.  See man page
1424  (man smartd) for syntax. If not found, try all ata and ide devices.
1425- smartd: close file descriptors of SCSI device if not SMART capable
1426  Closes ALL file descriptors after forking to daemon.
1427- added new temperature attribute (231, temperature)
1428- smartd: now open ATA disks using O_RDONLY
1429
1430* Thu Oct 24 2002 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1431- smartd now prints the name of a failed or changed attribute into logfile,
1432  not just ID number
1433- Changed name of -p (print version) option to -V
1434- Minor change in philosophy: if a SMART command fails or the device
1435    appears incapable of a SMART command that the user has asked for,
1436    complain by printing an error message, but go ahead and try
1437    anyway.  Since unimplemented SMART commands should just return an
1438    error but not cause disk problems, this should't cause any
1439    difficulty.
1440- Added two new flags: q and Q.  q is quiet mode - only print: For
1441    the -l option, errors recorded in the SMART error log; For the -L
1442    option, errors recorded in the device self-test log; For the -c
1443    SMART "disk failing" status or device attributes (pre-failure or
1444    usage) which failed either now or in the past; For the -v option
1445    device attributes (pre-failure or usage) which failed either now
1446    or in the past.  Q is Very Quiet mode: Print no ouput.  The only
1447    way to learn about what was found is to use the exit status of
1448    smartctl.
1449- smartctl now returns sensible values (bitmask).  See smartctl.h
1450    for the values, and the man page for documentation.
1451- The SMART status check now uses the correct ATA call.  If failure
1452    is detected we search through attributes to list the failed ones.
1453    If the SMART status check shows GOOD, we then look to see if their
1454    are any usage attributes or prefail attributes have failed at any
1455    time.  If so we print them.
1456- Modified function that prints vendor attributes to say if the
1457    attribute has currently failed or has ever failed.
1458- -p option now prints out license info and CVS strings for all
1459    modules in the code, nicely formatted.
1460- Previous versions of this code (and Smartsuite) only generate
1461    SMART failure errors if the value of an attribute is below the
1462    threshold and the prefailure bit is set.  However the ATA Spec
1463    (ATA4 <=Rev 4) says that it is a SMART failure if the value of an
1464    attribute is LESS THAN OR EQUAL to the threshold and the
1465    prefailure bit is set.  This is now fixed in both smartctl and
1466    smartd.  Note that this is a troubled subject -- the original
1467    SFF 8035i specification defining SMART was inconsistent about
1468    this.  One section says that Attribute==Threshold is pass,
1469    and another section says it is fail.  However the ATA specs are
1470    consistent and say Attribute==Threshold is a fail.
1471- smartd did not print the correct value of any failing SMART attribute.  It
1472    printed the index in the attribute table, not the attribute
1473    ID. This is fixed.
1474- when starting self-tests in captive mode ioctl returns EIO because
1475    the drive has been busied out.  Detect this and don't return an eror
1476    in this case.  Check this this is correct (or how to fix it?)
1477 - fixed possible error in how to determine ATA standard support
1478    for devices with no ATA minor revision number.
1479- device opened only in read-only not read-write mode.  Don't need R/W
1480    access to get smart data. Check this with Andre.
1481- smartctl now handles all possible choices of "multiple options"
1482    gracefully.  It goes through the following phases of operation,
1483    in order: INFORMATION, ENABLE/DISABLE, DISPLAY DATA, RUN/ABORT TESTS.
1484    Documentation has bee updated to explain the different phases of
1485    operation.  Control flow through ataPrintMain()
1486    simplified.
1487- If reading device identity information fails, try seeing if the info
1488    can be accessed using a "DEVICE PACKET" command.  This way we can
1489    at least get device info.
1490- Modified Makefile to automatically tag CVS archive on issuance of
1491    a release
1492- Modified drive detection so minor device ID code showing ATA-3 rev
1493    0 (no SMART) is known to not be SMART capable.
1494- Now verify the checksum of the device ID data structure, and of the
1495    attributes threshold structure.  Before neither of these
1496    structures had their checksums verified.
1497- New behavior vis-a-vis checksums.  If they are wrong, we log
1498    warning messages to stdout, stderr, and syslog, but carry on
1499    anyway.  All functions now call a checksumwarning routine if the
1500    checksum doesn't vanish as it should.
1501- Changed Read Hard Disk Identity function to get fresh info from
1502    the disk on each call rather than to use the values that were read
1503    upon boot-up into the BIOS.  This is the biggest change in this
1504    release.  The ioctl(device, HDIO_GET_IDENTITY, buf ) call should
1505    be avoided in such code.  Note that if people get garbled strings
1506    for the model, serial no and firmware versions of their drives,
1507    then blame goes here (the BIOS does the byte swapping for you,
1508    apparently!)
1509- Function ataSmartSupport now looks at correct bits in drive
1510    identity structure to verify first that these bits are valid,
1511    before using them.
1512- Function ataIsSmartEnabled() written which uses the Drive ID state
1513    information to tell if SMART is enabled or not.  We'll carry this
1514    along for the moment without using it.
1515- Function ataDoesSmartWork() guaranteed to work if the device
1516    supports SMART.
1517- Replace some numbers by #define MACROS
1518- Wrote Function TestTime to return test time associated with each
1519    different type of test.
1520- Thinking of the future, have added a new function called
1521    ataSmartStatus2().  Eventually when I understand how to use the
1522    TASKFILE API and am sure that this works correctly, it will
1523    replace ataSmartStatus().  This queries the drive directly to
1524    see if the SMART status is OK, rather than comparing thresholds to
1525    attribute values ourselves. But I need to get some drives that fail
1526    their SMART status to check it.

1529-   Removed extraneous space before some error message printing.
1530-   Fixed some character buffers that were too short for contents.
1531    Only used for unrecognized drives, so probably damage was minimal.

1533* Wed Oct 16 2002 Bruce Allen <smartmontools-support@lists.sourceforge.net>
1534-   Initial release.  Code is derived from smartsuite, and is
1535    intended to be compatible with the ATA/ATAPI-5 specifications.
1536-   For IBM disks whose raw temp data includes three temps. print all
1537    three
1538-   print timestamps for error log to msec precision
1539-   added -m option for Hitachi disks that store power on life in
1540    minutes
1541-   added -L option for printing self-test error logs
1542-   in -l option, now print power on lifetime, so that one can see
1543    when the error took place
1544-   updated SMART structure definitions to ATA-5 spec
1545-   added -p option
1546-   added -f and -F options to enable/disable autosave threshold
1547    parameters
