Hello,
i try to port the smartmontools (http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net)
to QNX 6.x.
has anybody an idea how i can set ATA-Command to eide Interface with
parallel runing devb-eide ? anybody know if devb-eide has an devctl or
ioctl for push ATA-Commands ?
like in freebsd

…
iocmd.u.request.u.ata.command=ATA_IDENTIFY_DEVICE;
iocmd.u.request.flags=ATA_CMD_READ;
iocmd.u.request.data=buff;
iocmd.u.request.count=512;
…
if ((retval=ioctl(con->atacommand, IOCATA, &iocmd))) {
perror("Failed command: ");
return -1;

…

thanks for any hints and
greetings from germanys biggest island Rügen

You probably could use PASSTHRU devctl, but it is undocumented. Check the
header files. And check QNX patches for cdrecord if you can find the
sources - I think it was done using that method.

Sorry, the eide driver doesn’t provide an interface for raw ATA commands.

what is possible ?

i know the devb-eide can enable the SMART Interface,
identify the Drive Information and so on via ATA-Interface …
…
#define CMD_SMART 0xB0
#define CMD_IDENTIFY_DEVICE 0xEC
…

i know its possible to write a own interface, but that is very
dangerus in conjuntion with devb-eide.

any ideas ???
