SATA devices
------------
The ATA PASS THROUGH SCSI command (12 and 16 byte cdb) as defined in
SAT: http://www.t10.org/ftp/t10/drafts/sat/sat-r07.pdf (section 12.2)
provides a general way to pass ATA SMART commands through to SATA
devices.
Doug Gilbert will in the future add a '-d sat' type (note, this is not
a typo, we do not mean '-d sata') which will instruct the generic
smartmontools code to assume an ATA device but use those ATA PASS
THROUGH commands.
This should provide additional support for SATA devices under most or
all operating systems.

Perhaps change smartd to look in /proc/ide and /proc/scsi to see what

should probably be the default option if there is no configuration
file.
