ATA with SMART

Hello everyone,

I would like to send some SMART commands in linux. One of the command I'd like to send is return_smart_status and I needed some extra data that the device would return in Cylinder_Low and Cylinder_High registers.

I have tried to use the HDIO_DRIVE_CMD, but I think this can't help me with the above operation.

I tried using the inw_p and outw_p, inb_p, outb_p, but with these, i usually receive the "lost interrupt" message.

Does anyone here have suggestions on what i should do?

Please reply, and thank you for your time,

-Ana
