Error:

device smartd[2338] Unable to register SCSI device /dev/sda at line 1 of
file /etc/smartd.conf.
Corrective Action: This is a known issue. An unsupported command is entered through the user application. User applications attempt
to direct Command Descriptor Blocks to RAID volumes. The error message does not aect the feature
functionality. The Mode Sense/Select command is supported by rmware on the controller. However, the Linux
kernel daemon issues the command to the virtual disk instead of to the driver IOCTL node. This action is not
supported.
