Got an app consulting project where I need to issue SMART hard disk
(standard) directives to ATA drives. ioctl is disabled for ATA bus
device access calls. IOKit would be the preferred way. And Xserve has
a util as many of us know that makes these SMART calls (shown at WWDC).
I have code that works on Linux and FreeBSD that does what I need.
Banging my head on this for Darwin; is there another way folks can think
of where I can issue ioctls directly to an open drive reference number.
The client ain't going to be happy if we have to wait for Xserve ships
before I can solve this problem. Suggestions?
Thanks,
--Perry
