Edit /etc/smartd.conf
The default behaviour of smartd is to auto-detect the drives, but the default
distribution of smartd has smartd.conf set up to look for /dev/hda.
Use (as root)
# fdisk -l
to find out which entries in /dev are your hard drives, then comment out all
other entries in smartd.conf and add a line
/dev/hd? -a
for each of the drives you want smartd to check. (replace ? with the
appropriate letter(s) for your own drives). The location for these entries
in the file should be obvious.
This causes smartd to to a complete check on the drive(s) at its standard
interval. If you want to change the options, read the default smartd.conf,
which details the available options. Or
# man smartd
