Hi,

I get this error when trying to test a disk that is inside an USB enclosure:


AmonLanc:/home/cer/Compilaciones/hardware/smartmontools-6.5 # ./smartctl -a /dev/sdb
smartctl 6.5 2016-05-07 r4318 [i686-linux-3.12.59-47-default] (local build)
Copyright (C) 2002-16, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org

/dev/sdb: Unknown USB bridge [0x0aec:0x3050 (0x100)]
Please specify device type with the -d option.

Use smartctl -h to get a usage summary

AmonLanc:/home/cer/Compilaciones/hardware/smartmontools-6.5 #



I have been told to report here, after asking on the openSUSE mail list.
I'm using openSUSE Linux 13.1, and I tried both with the default smartctl version of the distribution, and the most recent sources I just built.



Please ask me any other information you require.
