                          On my debian wheezy server I use a **software raid 1** with two harddisks dev/sda3 and dev/sdb3 connected into dev/md2:

    mdadm --detail /dev/md2
    Number   Major   Minor   RaidDevice State
       0       8        3        0      active sync   /dev/sda3
       1       8       19        1      active sync   /dev/sdb3

The raid seems to be fine, but on one of the disks SMART is not running: 

    smartctl --all /dev/sda

sais:

    SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.
    SMART support is: Disabled

While /dev/sdb gives a lot of SMART information.

I tried to start it with

    smartctl -s on /dev/sda -T verypermissive not working

But it doesn't start:

    Error SMART Enable failed: scsi error aborted command
    Smartctl: SMART Enable Failed.

How can I get it running? Or does it mean the disk has a problem?
