If the external HDD was online during smartd startup, smartd would issue 
a warning ("Device: /dev/sdX, unable to open device") when the drive can 
no longer be accessed.

The attachment does not contain any of the warnings provided by smartd. 
This is a drawback of the "erroraction.cmd" script you use for -M exec. 
It logs smartctl results for all devices. It does not include any 
warning info provided by smartd via environment variables 
(SMARTD_DEVICESTRING, SMARTD_MESSAGE, ...).

You might want to inform the author of "erroraction.cmd" 
(http://www.netpower.fr/smartmontools). Note that this is an independent 
project.

Please examine the syslog messages from smartd to find the actual 
warning and device info. Smartd issues log entries to the windows event 
log unless -l command line option is used.

Thanks,
Christian
