A very long time ago I found this and use it everywhere now. I don't even
remember what the options mean anymore.
/dev/sda -d ata -o off -S on -a -s
(O/../../(7|3)/00|S/../.././12|L/../../6/03|C/../../7/03) -m root

I have a follow up question for this. I can drop the /dev/sdX and use
DEVICESCAN right? How would I tell smartd to stagger the tests if I have a
4+ drive raid?
