Re: [issue1412] sysutils/smartmontools doesn't work with ahci(4)

:Ok, I think one should use device type 'sat' for smartmontools (ata over sc=
:si,=20
:or scsi attached ata). For this to be feasible, ATA_PASS_* have to be=20
: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 =3D CAM_FUNC_NOTAVAIL;
:                break;
:
:I'll give it a shot, but any hint is welcome.

:Cheers,

    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.
