Well that makes it easier....

In other news, so this doesnt happen again I am trying to get smart to
work within linux.

when starting the service i get:

Feb 13 19:01:29 mythtv smartd[8263]: smartd version 5.36

So on sda and sdb SMART is not enabled.  These are my TV drives so i
try to enable with the command.  No go:

[root at mythtv ~]# smartctl -s on /dev/sda
smartctl version 5.36 [x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-6 Bruce Allen
Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/

unable to fetch IEC (SMART) mode page [unsupported field in scsi command]
A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or
more '-T permissive' options.

I try adding -d ata looks like it works but they dont add to the monitor list:
[root at mythtv ~]# smartctl -d ata -s on /dev/sdb
smartctl version 5.36 [x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-6 Bruce Allen

=== START OF ENABLE/DISABLE COMMANDS SECTION ===
SMART Enabled.

Any suggestions? my TV drives ara SataII

Thanks,
