My HDDs which are attached to motherboard SATA show up when running Snapraid Smart commands without issue.

However the two HDDs I have attached to my Dell Perc H310 HBA in IT mode don’t report Smart results from Snapraid.

Smartctl only shows these two drives as SCSI devices when I do a “smartctl --scan” command.

But these drives that are attached via HBA don’t appear when running “Snapraid smart”

Does anyone know how to get Snapraid to see the drives when running Snapraid smart command?

I’ll be adding many more drives to my HBA soon, and would like to figure out this issue.

    All it’s doing is a smartcl -a to each device. It works fine on my 3 HBA’s all SAS2008

    You can change the command it uses for smartctl via the config, -d sat may be needed.

    RTFM?

    7.13 smartctl DISK/PARITY OPTIONS...
Defines a custom smartctl command to obtain the SMART attributes for each disk. This may be required for RAID controllers and for some USB disk that cannot be auto-detected.
DISK is the same disk name specified in the "disk" option. PARITY is one of the parity name as "parity,(1,2,3,4,5,6,z)-parity".

In the specified OPTIONS, the "%s" string is replaced by the device name. Note that in case of RAID controllers the device is likely fixed, and you don't have to use "%s".
