Hi.

I am in the process of reorganizing and selecting new tools (the
lighter, the merrier) for my systems and it seems that skdump/sktest are
quite nice candidates.

Unfortunately, it seems that they support jmicron USB passthru, but not
cypress. (Yes, I do have one Firewire+USB enclosure with Cypress
circuitry).

OTOH, smartmonctl *does* support it and, from a quick look at it, it
seems that it would be reasonably easy to port the necessary parts to
libatasmart.

This is, therefore, a request for such feature.


Thanks for packaging it, Rogério Brito.
