Description

sysutils/smartmontools doesn't work with devices attached to ahci(4), using
nata(4) works fine. Cheating and specifying device type doesn't help either:

But the drives support SMART querying and I think also SCSI drives
support (something like) it.

Ok, I think one should use device type 'sat' for smartmontools (ata over scsi,
or scsi attached ata). For this to be feasible, ATA_PASS_* have to be
implemented in our ahci driver.
Relevant snippet in ahci_cam.c:
case ATA_PASS_12:
case ATA_PASS_16:
/* * XXX implement pass-through
*/
ccbh->status = CAM_FUNC_NOTAVAIL;
break;

I'll give it a shot, but any hint is welcome.

Cheers,
Alex Hornung

The best place to get examples is probably ahci_cam.c... the probe code
    runs a number of discrete ATA commands.  It is fairly straightforward.  I'm
    not sure how ATAPI is distinguished from ATA w/ regards to the pass-thru
    ioctls though.

Fixed with commit bedbe7f88177daf6a0e404f198ef852b8e9b426b and using 'sat' as
device type for smartctl.
