Bug#386248: fails to start with IDE CD drives scanned before SATA disks
OK, I see the problem. Smartd was set up with the logic that if a user put '-d ata' then only ATA devices would be scanned, NOT including traditional SATA names. For now, the only workaround I can suggest is to NOT use DEVICESCAN. Just explicitly list each device, one device per line.

Could you remove the '-d ata' to confirm that without this, it WILL scan SCSI devices? (This won't fix the problem but at least helps me to isolate it.) Without -d ata, SATA/SCSI devices are scanned. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

DEVICESCAN has several issues and should be reimplemented using sysfs (any takers?). I personally specify the drives explicitly in /etc/smartd.conf. Nevertheless the bug is a valid one. Bruce, do you have any suggestions? The fix for this problem is not 'clean'. It's going to require a reworking of the entire DEVICESCAN method. This is something that should become much simpler to do after Christian is done implementing a better device abstraction.
