I think the service file for smartmontools could be improved:

• Add a reference to the documentation in the [Unit] section, e.g.:

Documentation=man:smartd(8) man:smartd.conf(5)

• The 'EnvironmentFile=-/usr/local/etc/sysconfig/smartmontools' line should not be in the unit file, as that contains only three configuration options, two of which (enable_smart, start_smartd) are completely ignored by the service file and the third (smartd_opts) is only for additional command line options, that should better be changed in the service file itself.

The second point has already been requested in ticket 194, but was not implemented. I think having the 'EnvironmentFile=' line in the service file is more confusing than helpful, so please consider removing it.

You should change const int max_pathc = 32 to a higher value because with this value smartctl --scan shows false data.

with the old value (32): smartctl --scan|wc -l 58

and the new (48): ./smartctl --scan|wc -l 74

The new seagate expansion drives seem to use a different usb bridge which is not automatically detected:

/dev/sdi: Unknown USB bridge [0x0bc2:0x3312 (0x737)]
Please specify device type with the -d option.

Using the -d sat switch, it works fine:
