This causes gsmartcontrol to fail. smartmontools: 5.39.1_git201009281647-1.1 An own build of smartmontools-5.40 solved the problem for me. 'smartctl -V' output contains the version (again) in the first line: smartctl 5.40 2010-10-16 r3189 [x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-10 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net smartctl comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
