What's the end goal here? Are you really passing an entire disk to the guest and want to have the guest monitor the device? If not, then I suggest just disabling smartmontools since it won't give you meaningful data anyhow. -- Ryan Harper Software Engineer; Linux Technology Center IBM Corp., Austin, Tx ry...@us.ibm.com
