How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install a 3ware 9750 card with a SATA drive on port 0
2. smartctl -d 3ware,0 /dev/twl0
  
Actual results:

Additional info:

Comment 2 RHEL Product and Program Management 2011-04-17 02:00:09 EDT

Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 4 Eric Smith 2011-05-30 00:40:58 EDT

Fixed in RHEL 6.1, smartmontools-5.40-5.el6
