[smartmontools-support] SMART Attribute in Offset (386..510)

[Krüger, Jens]

Dear Christian,

thanks for your fast feedback.

Yes, storing SMART information in this area is really a very old way.
In my specific case, it is used for the new edition of a CF card, i.e. a P-ATA medium.
Although these have completely disappeared from the consumer market, they are still used in industry.

Attached you will find an excerpt from the CF data sheet (not under NDA), where the SMART structure is described.
Also the output of "smartctl -a" from one of these CF cards.
In this case from the 1GB version.
Depending on the capacity, the "Device Model:" changes.
If there is currently no way to output this offset range, it would be fantastic if this were possible in a future version.

Note that the ATA ACS-3 spec was the last one specifying the SMART data structure. ATA ACS-4 Rev 10 (2015) declared all this as obsolete.

Sorry, no.

I don't remember any similar feature request or any related
documentation from a drive vendor. There is only this very old comment
in smartmontools source code:
"Maxtor bytes 508-509 Attribute/Threshold Revision #"
https://www.smartmontools.org/changeset/1676/trunk/sm5/atacmds.h

Is there any recent and publicly accessible (e.g. does not require to
sign a NDA) vendor specific specification available?
