BUG: Smartd Shuts Down on Startup Detecting USB Boot D (11.1.U5 - 11.1.U6)

[iposner]

Here's a snippet from the daemon.log. Note that the smartd daemon starts up, interrogates the four hard disks, then shuts down when it detects /dev/da0 (a USB key installed inside the server chassis). Note that this was working fine up to and including 11.1.U4:

This is due to a change smartmontools works. You need to turn off "Enable SMART" for your USB device, located under Storage > Volumes > View Disks > Edit.

Thanks for the prompt and great response. Your fix worked.
