[smartmontools-support] smartctl messages

[Bart K]

Hello,

I am working on an app for wiping harddrives on a large scale.
However, now i need to know what kind of messages i can expect from smartctl.

As an example, when im trying to “smartctl -i /dev/sdd -j” where “/dev/sdd” is a USB drive, I get a “Unknown USB bridge” message.

Is there some database or something similair where i can see what kind of error messages i can expect, and also how to interpet some of the exit codes ?
I have found https://sourceforge.net/p/smartmontools/mailman/message/7330895/ wich gives a simple explanation about the status code.
But that doesnt help me 100%.
I need slightly more information about the status codes aswell.

Thanks for taking your time,

Gr,
Bart Klumpenaar
