Public bug reported:
There are two sides to this problem:
1. when I plug in an external hard disk, smartd won't monitor it for
errors until I restart the smartmontools service
2. when I unplug an external hard disk, smartd starts sending me daily
emails with spurious FailedOpenDevice errors:
Subject: SMART error (FailedOpenDevice) detected on host: myhostname
The following warning/error was logged by the smartd daemon:
Device: /dev/sdc [SAT], unable to open device
Device info:
ST4000DM000-XXXXXX, S/N:XXXXXXXX, WWN:X-XXXXXX-XXXXXXXXX, FW:CC51, 4.00 TB
