Enable TLER with smartctl

I believe this doesn't work as TLER functionality is completely stripped on the new hard drives.

Yep.

Code: 
infinity:~# smartctl -i /dev/sdf | grep Model
Model Family:     Western Digital Caviar Blue Serial ATA family
Device Model:     WDC WD5000AAKS-00A7B2

infinity:~# smartctl -i /dev/sdd | grep Model
Model Family:     Western Digital Caviar Blue Serial ATA family
Device Model:     WDC WD5000AAKS-65YGA0


infinity:~# smartctl -l scterc,70,70 /dev/sdf
smartctl 5.39 2009-12-09 r2995 [x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu] (local build)

Warning: device does not support SCT Error Recovery Control command

infinity:~# smartctl -l scterc,70,70 /dev/sdd

SCT Error Recovery Control:
           Read:     70 (7.0 seconds)
          Write:     70 (7.0 seconds)

The one that doesn't work was a warranty replacement for one that used to work :x

Weird firmware versioning too:
Code: 
infinity:~# smartctl -i /dev/sdf | grep Firmware
Firmware Version: 01.03B01
infinity:~# smartctl -i /dev/sdd | grep Firmware
Firmware Version: 12.01C02

Though after thinking about it and reading sub.mesa's posts on the topic, I don't use TLER on my Linux softraid anymore.
 
It turns out that I do have the hardware....amazing what happens after tinkering with PCs for 15 years. :)

I tore apart one of my Seagate Freeagent USB 2tb drives - standard Barracuda LP inside, and installed it inside an old Pentium 4 system with an ICH5. I installed Fedora 12 and downloaded the newest pre-release Smartmontools.

The commands worked as documented.
