Hi everyone,
I recently took delivery of a Supermicro X11SRM-F with a Broadcom MegaRAID 
9361-8i SAS 8 port card which has 4 Intel D3-S4610 960 GB SSDs and 4 Hitachi/WD 
Ultrastar HC300 4TB drives each in a RAID5.

I have /usr/local/etc/smartd.conf with just 'DEVICESCAN' and when smartd starts 
I see..

Nov 21 01:17:53 maarsy-acq3 smartd[2105]: file /var/run/smartd.pid written

So it is monitoring the SAS disks but has ignored the SATA SSDs :(

If I run smartctl on an SSD I get..
[maarsy-acq3 1:33] ~> sudo smartctl -a /dev/pass4|less
smartctl 7.0 2018-12-30 r4883 [FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE amd64] (local build)

Smartctl open device: /dev/pass4 [SAT] failed: SATA device detected,
MegaRAID SAT layer is reportedly buggy, use '-d sat' to try anyhow

And using what it suggests seems to work - does anyone know a way to force it 
to work with DEVICESCAN?

For now I've just hard coded it like so..
DEFAULT -m root
/dev/pass0
/dev/pass1
/dev/pass2
/dev/pass3
/dev/pass4 -d sat
/dev/pass5 -d sat
/dev/pass6 -d sat
/dev/pass7 -d sat

but it seems clunky.. also I see these slightly puzzling messages for each SSD..

Which I am hoping aren't anything to worry about..
