Could you try with /dev/sdX instead of /dev/disk/by-id please?
that works.
I would like to be able to continue to specify by disks by their names in
/dev/disk/by-id. This avoids problems when I move the disks.
Why does smartd (run as root!) refuse to use a configuration file that is owned
by another user mode 600?
thanks for your help

What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
Z : background this process to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.
