[smartmontools-support] Unrecognised disk

[Mike Squire]

Hello!

I have installed a disk that is not recognised, but I believe it has the
same attributes as a model that is in the database. I previously installed
the same make and model (apparently) in another computer which is
recognised, but this one identifies its model differently. I tried updating
the DB to the trunk version and this is the output of "smartctl -i":

=== START OF INFORMATION SECTION ===

I manually edited the drivedb.h file to match this drive and the attributes
provided by "smartctl -A" now match the other computer's drive (and appear
to make sense). Here is the diff:

     "", "",

Obviously my RE is very specific, I am not sure how other variants identify
themselves. But I hope this helps.

This is an invaluable tool. Thank you for your time and effort in
maintaining it!
