Package: smartmontools
Version: 5.36-6
Severity: normal

I have a system with hda/b IDE CD-ROM drives and /dev/sda-g as SATA
drives. I use

  DEVICESCAN -d ata -a -s (S/../.././02|L/../../7/04) -o on

When I start smartd, this fails:

smartd version 5.36 [x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-6 Bruce Allen

  Opened configuration file /etc/smartd.conf
  Configuration file /etc/smartd.conf was parsed, found DEVICESCAN, scanning

Undoubtedly, it should scan the SATA drives too.
