Does smartctl use non-queued commands

Hi, I'm not developer by nature but I'm trying to use smartctl against some Intel S3700 SSD drives behind a Dell PERC8 controller and was recently asked the question of whether smartctl uses queued or non-queued commands to query disks. The concern was a system under very heavy write load and we want to monitor the disk health during production, if we were to run smartctl commands against the disk, would it use a non-queued command and possible abort the queue causing possible data loss or corruption? I've been looking over the FAQs for smartmontools and reading through what I can find on Github but I'm not familiar enough with the tools to have a solid confirmation. Thank you for any assistance you can provide. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Smartmontools-support mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/smartmontools-support
