Package: smartmontools
Version: 5.37-1
Severity: important

I have a software RAID machine and one of the disks failed. This
causes smartd to fail during start:

Starting S.M.A.R.T. daemon: smartd failed!

smartd[14177]: Device: /dev/hdb, No such device, open() failed
smartd[14177]: Unable to register ATA device /dev/hdb at line 104 of file 
/etc/smartd.conf
smartd[14177]: Unable to register device /dev/hdb (no Directive -d removable). 
Exiting.

I am perfectly aware that a missing disk is a problem, but shouldn't
smartd better report the problem and keep trying? Or at least report
and start for all the other disks?

Cheers,
