How to activate SMART at booth with amd64 etch raid1?

Apparently

start_smartd=yes

in /etc/default/smartmontools does not work (unlike in non-raid i386 etch pc).

To check hds i had to command from terminal window:

#smartctl -s on -d ata /dev/sda

#smartctl -s on -d ata /dev/sdb

Which is the way to get SMART activated at boot?

Thank you.
Cheers
francesco Pietra

Log messages? I suspect you'd have to change your /etc/smartd.conf from
AUTODETECT to specific addressing the disks (including the -d ata flag).

smartd tries to start, but with AUTODETECT enabled it probably does NOT
detect the disks (since one has to go thru libata for this).
This behaviour might change with the next release of smartmontools; please
check with their sf.net site.

Cheers,
 Steffen
