Hello

Before asking in the ml, I checked the FAQ but found no entry. I tried
searching Gmane's archives, but it currently says "You don't have
permission to access / on this server."

I just installed Smartmontools on Windows 7 through Smartmontools-win
(www.netpower.fr) and am learning about how to use Smartmontools.

I opened a DOS box with Admin rights, but apparently, smartclt.exe
won't run the short self-test:

=================
c:\Program Files\smartmontools for Windows\bin>smartctl -H /dev/sda
smartctl 6.2 2013-07-26 r3841 [i686-w64-mingw32-win7-sp1] (sf-6.2-1)

Read SMART Thresholds failed: Function not implemented

=== START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION ===
SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED

=================
c:\Program Files\smartmontools for Windows\bin>smartctl -t short
/dev/sda
smartctl 6.2 2013-07-26 r3841 [i686-w64-mingw32-win7-sp1] (sf-6.2-1)

=== START OF OFFLINE IMMEDIATE AND SELF-TEST SECTION ===
Sending command: "Execute SMART Short self-test routine immediately in
off-line mode".
Command "Execute SMART Short self-test routine immediately in off-line
mode" failed: Function not implemented
=================

Any idea why it won't run the test?

Thank you.
