Request for smartctl -i info

[PartialVolume]

If anybody is seeing UNK in the bus type field as opposed to USB or ATA in the GUI, can you post the output from either smartctl -i /dev/... Or nwipe -v

Also if you have an IDE or SCSI drive, can you also post the smartctl -i /dev/... Or nwipe -v output. And tell me what's in the bus type field in the GUI.

Thanks

Just some notes for others who might need a workflow how to get this file off an air-gapped/non-networked box

• ALT+F2
• mkdir /media/usbdrive
• attach flash drive, then lsblk to find identifier
• mount /def/sdX /media/usbdrive where X is the identifier from the previous step
• nwipe -v -q --logfile=/media/usbdrive/shredos-debug.log
• CTRL+C to end NWIPE
• umount /media/usbdrive
