My Samsung Spinpoint F1's can have TLER enabled using a more recent
smartctl. It's not appeared as part of a formal release yet but a
patch went in to r3065 in SVN:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/smartmontools/log/trunk/smartmontools
    

Thanks.  I got the svn3077 from Debian testing, but it doesn't seem to
be supported with my drives:

# smartctl -l scterc /dev/sda
smartctl 5.40 2010-03-16 r3077 [i686-pc-linux-gnu] (local build)

Warning: device does not support SCT Commands

Any other suggestions?
  

Presumably something shows in the logs, that's the next place to look.
