    Hello,<br>
    <br>
    On my linux-system, s.m.a.r.t. is installed. Since quite a while,
    I'm getting a disk-health warning. However, this warning concerns a
    hdd that does not exist in my system.=C2=A0 I could not find a method=
 for
    peventing s.m.a.r.t. to look for this device, in order to stop these
    messages. Completely removing and re-installing s.m.a.r.t. did not
    solve this "problem" either. Could you please tell me what I can do
    to stop these messages from being produced?<br>
    Here is the message that I keep recieving:<br>
