Thanks for the help, sorry for the unnecessary email.
So does it work for you now?

Yes, thank you, it does. I just wish this section in the /etc/smartd.conf file
was better documented.
What about 'man smartd.conf'?
Bruce
It's not really any better, as it says this which is equally as unclear.
If a 3ware controller is used then the corresponding SCSI (/dev/sd?) or
character device (/dev/twe? or /dev/twa?) must be listed, along with
the ´-d 3ware,N´ Directive (see below). The individual ATA disks
hosted by the 3ware controller appear to smartd as normal ATA devices.
Hence all the ATA directives can be used for these disks (but see note
below).
I saw the new release, thank you for putting a note into the NEWS file saying
that the /dev/tw* files are required.
Thanks,
Blair
