Package: smartmontools Version: 5.37-1 Severity: normal With version 5.37-1 smartd reports the SCSI disks (sda & sdb) as detected while starting but then does not check for temperature or anything afterwards. ATA disk drives (hda & hdb) are monitorized fine. Optical disks (hdc & hdd) are detected and ignored as they can not report anything. smartctl reports data fine when asked about any of the four drives, ATA or SCSI, so the issue seems to only affect smartd. This is what I found in the logs:

Thus the "Monitoring" line does not match how the daemon behaves, nor what smartctl can do ("it works"). I downgraded to 5.36-8, which does something like: ---8<--- smartd version 5.36 [i686-pc-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-6 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ Opened configuration file /etc/smartd.conf Drive: DEVICESCAN, implied '-a' Directive on line 23 of file /etc/smartd.conf Configuration file /etc/smartd.conf was parsed, found DEVICESCAN, scanning devices Device: /dev/hda, opened Device: /dev/hda, found in smartd database.
