Hi,

I just installed a brand new Seagate 2TB hdd, 

 Model Family:     Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 (AF)                                                                                                                      
Device Model:     ST2000DM001-1CH164                                                                                                                                  


When I execute this command (/usr/sbin/smartctl -a -d sat /dev/sdc), I get the following:

=== START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION ===                                                                                                                              
SMART Status command failed                                                                                                                                           
Please get assistance from http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/                                                                                                      
Register values returned from SMART Status command are:                                                                                                               
 ERR=0x00, SC=0x00, LL=0xb7, LM=0x2d, LH=0x04, DEV=0x40, STS=0x50                                                                                                     
SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED                                                                                                              
Warning: This result is based on an Attribute check.                                                                                                                  
 

Am I doing something wrong? I don't know how to handle this situation. The hdd is behind a SIIG USB docking station. The os is Fedora 19 x86_64. Smartmon is at this level: smartmontools-6.2-5.fc19.x86_64

Any/all hints/tips/suggestions would be appreciated.

Regards,

George...
