Not me. On our boxes with SATA drives, smartd fails to start, and this is
sent to /var/log/messages:
Jun 13 14:17:37 foo smartd[10289]: Device /dev/sda, SATA disks accessed via
libata are not currently supported by smartmontools. When libata is given
an ATA pass-thru ioctl() then an additional '-d libata' device type will be
added to smartmontools.
