Since it's smartd issuing the warnings, perhaps posting your config file 
would help.

      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.  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>
