We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Snapraid "Smart" cannot see drives attached via HBA (alien.top)

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.
