check_ide_smart problem

[Matthew Pounsett]

I'm trying to get the check_ide_smart (v2.1.1) plugin working, and haven't
had any luck.  I'm wondering if it's a problem with the plugin being a bit
too simple to deal with my hardware.

% sudo ./check_ide_smart -d /dev/sda
CRITICAL - SMART_CMD_ENABLE

I can't find any documentation on what that response means.  However, my
hardware has a megaraid card, which requires an extra argument for smartctl
to work.

% sudo smartctl -A /dev/sda
smartctl 6.4 2014-10-07 r4002 [x86_64-linux-3.16.0-6-amd64] (local build)

Smartctl open device: /dev/sda failed: DELL or MegaRaid controller, please
try adding '-d megaraid,N'

% sudo smartctl -d megaraid,1 -A /dev/sda
smartctl 6.4 2014-10-07 r4002 [x86_64-linux-3.16.0-6-amd64] (local build)

Current Drive Temperature:     29 C

Does anyone have any suggestions for getting this to work?

Thanks.
