Editing BRUTAB
Hello,

I get the following in one of my error logs:

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.
---------------

I found on the Internet that to get rid of the error message I would have to edit smartd.conf as follows:

/dev/sda -d ata
/dev/sdb -d ata
-------------
My manager wants to know:

1) Is there any harm leaving things as they are by not making the modifications to the smard.conf file above.
2) If the modifications must be made, what are the consequences, good and bad, of doing so?

NAME

       lilo-uuid-diskid - convert boot / root options to diskid and uuid in lilo.conf.

SYNOPSIS

       lilo-uuid-diskid [-h] [-v] [lilo.conf]

DESCRIPTION

       This script looks for the boot block device or boot partition and create the right diskid or uuid as boot option. Then it looks for all
       root partitions and create the right uuids as root options.

       These conversions are necessary for use with newer kernel (>= 2.6.26) if it use the libata module for parallel and serial ATA interfaces of
       block devices (i. e. hard disks with IDE or SATA interface, usbsticks).

OPTIONS

       -h  Print a brief help.

       -v  Print verbose messages.

EXAMPLES

       Lines in the configuration file /etc/lilo.conf:

	 #boot = /dev/sda
	 boot = /dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG_SV1604N_S01FJ10X999999

	 #root = /dev/sda1
	 root = "UUID=/dev/disk/by-uuid/18843936-00f9-4df0-a373-000d05a5dd44"
