smartmontools Automatic Offline Testing fails on drives connected to a sata_sil controller.
Bruce Allen, the smartmontools maintainer, suggests the problem may be that the Auto-offline command sticks large values in the ATA sector count register WITHOUT transfering any data.
Can the sata_sil driver be fixed to accomodate this?
In smartd.conf:
/dev/sdc -d sat -a -o on -S on -s (S/../.././02|L/../../6/03)
Result:
Device: /dev/sdc, opened
Device: /dev/sdc, not found in smartd database.
Device: /dev/sdc, enabled SMART Attribute Autosave.

The same model drives work fine with smartmontools cvs on the sata_nv and 3ware 8500 controllers.
