I'm looking to do a bit more monitoring of my 3ware 9550 with smartd, and wanted to see what others were doing with smart for monitoring 3ware hardware.
Do you have the smartd.conf configured to test, or simply monitor health status? Are you monitoring the drive as centos sees it (/dev/sdX) or are you using the 3ware /dev/twaX for monitoring?
I don't use smartd against them but I do run smartctl from time to time. I have had issues with using /dev/sdX and now only use /dev/twaX (but I can't really remember what bit me...).
