Description Rogério Brito 2010-09-02 13:14:38 UTC 
This is a copy of the bug that I filed in Debian's bug tracker at

http://bugs.debian.org/563023

------

Hi.

I am in the process of reorganizing and selecting new tools (the lighter, the merrier) for my systems and it seems that skdump/sktest are quite nice candidates.

Unfortunately, it seems that they support jmicron USB passthru, but not cypress. (Yes, I do have one Firewire+USB enclosure with Cypress circuitry).

OTOH, smartmonctl *does* support it and, from a quick look at it, it seems that it would be reasonably easy to port the necessary parts to libatasmart.

This is, therefore, a request for such feature.

------

Thanks, Rogério Brito.
