Description Frank Büttner 2013-04-21 11:44:45 UTC
Description of problem:
An external USB 3.0 disk is not working by default,
possible the version of the package is to old. Because the disk is listed as supported on the upstream website.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
smartmontools-6.0-2.fc18.x86_64

How reproducible:
everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  smartctl /dev/sdX --all

  
Actual results:
/dev/sdX: Unknown USB bridge [0x1e68:0x0050 (0x100)]
Please specify device type with the -d option.


Expected results:
Get the S.M.R.T. infos.

Additional info:
smartctl /dev/sdc --all -d sat will work.
As shown on http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/smartmontools/wiki/Supported_USB-Devices the device is listed. I think an table witch contains the devices must be updated.

Comment 1 Michal Hlavinka 2013-04-22 14:53:06 UTC
I just prepared smartmontools 6.1 update for Fedora 18
Please wait for it to reach updates-testing repository (should happen within 24 hourse)
Update smartmontools using:
yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing smartmontools
and restest.
Thanks

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2013-12-21 15:29:17 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '18'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be 
able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.
