On Linux 2.6.33, wich includes aacraid version 24702 (that's at least what
Adaptec's arcconf tells me), we're unable to query the smart information (SATA
disks attached to an Adaptec 52445):

On 2.6.32, we can use the aacraid driver from adaptec (version 24900) and
smartmontools work as expected, but with 2.6.33 their version doesn't compile
anymore.

We really don't want to run their 'enterprise' storage manager software on our
servers to warn us about bad blocks, but as long as we're unable to use
smartctl for this we're quite out of luck :/
