• Bug#1080266: program smartctl is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please

    From Christian Franke@21:1/5 to All on Mon May 5 11:00:02 2025
    Please provide info about this system (RAID controller?) and a sample
    smartctl command line which triggers these warnings.

    Unfortunately the kernel does not tell which ioctl is "a deprecated SCSI ioctl".

    smartmontools 7.4 and 7.5 no longer use the deprecated
    SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND, except if one of the following options for very
    old controllers are used:
    '-d 3ware,N'
    '-d marvell' (deprecated and subject to remove)

    In all other cases, SG_IO (version 3 or version 4) or a vendor specific
    ioctl is used.
