Everything is SATA

[Rog131]

After latest upgrade (linux-image-2.6.20-14-generic and etc) everything is SATA :o :o :o


:~$ scsiadd -p

Only WD2500JS-00M and ST380817AS are real SATA devices. Others are ide.

Seems to work but...

Anyone else ?


Hmm - with 2.6.20-13-generic :

:~$ scsiadd -p

Yep - on my virtual test machine, SCSI harddisks as well as IDE diskdrives are uniformly declared "SCSI" ???

Not sure where you are seeing everything as SATA.
SATA means Serial ATA, and probably you are mistaking ATA as meaning SATA? 'regular' ATA, now called PATA (for Parallel ATA) is what is still often called IDE, so I think everything is fine, other than having even more acronyms to remember :(

I have no sata hardware or capabilities on my mainboard, and my output looks just as yours does. Could it be a quirk of the too being used to get the info, or the way new kernels have to see hardware theses days? It wasn't so long ago that cd-rws were set up as as psuedo scsi devices. Maybe (and i cannot find any useful info) to be able to see ide/scsi/sata/usb/firewire devices, everything is using scsi (the standard for device id and file transfer, not the connection type) protocols?

Maybe file a bug report, someone may be able to clarify

haha I found one quite quickly:

so unless you have some manually added mount points, everything is as it is supposed to be

Good to know - I did have in the /etc/default/hddtemp

#List of devices you want to use with hddtemp
DISKS="/dev/sda /dev/sdb PATA:/dev/hda PATA:/dev/hdb"

So i have to change those.


Hah ;D This should be in the Kubuntu Forums > Kubuntu Discussion > Kubuntu Feisty Fawn > Hardware Support :-[

[claydoh]

heh :)
will move it for you

[Rog131]

Thank you ! :D

Mumbling :
So now hda -> sda
hdb -> sdb
hdc -> scd0
hdd -> scd1
sda -> sdc
sdb -> sdd
;)

Everything is SATA a.k.a back and forth

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

And after linux-image-2.6.20-15-generic (2.6.20-15.25) to 2.6.20-15.27


:~$ scsiadd -p
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00

Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: ATA Model: ST380817AS Rev: 3.42
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05


and
sda -> hda
sdb -> hdb
scd0 -> hdc
scd1 -> hdd
sdc -> sda
sdd -> sdb

So we are back to square one ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Everything is coming up SCSI for me as well, even though it's all IDE

aule, see this post:

I did find this:

Bug #106821 in linux-source-2.6.20
smartmontools/smartctl does not work on SATA drives on Linux Kernel 2.6.20-15.27
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/106821

I have 2.6.20-15.27. Smart isn't working and hddtemp is telling that drive is sleeping. It is working (sleepwalking... sleepworking ;D )
