When I do
smartctl -i /dev/sda
there is no output (except from the smartctl welcome message) and the kernel reports:
smartctl is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO
Searching the internet shows that smartctl should be using the new interface for over a decade, and I might be running older versions of Linux, but not quite that old! What's going on?
