[pve-devel] [RFC storage v2 1/3] api: smart: return unknown health instead of error message

[Daniel Kral]

In case of an error, the WebGUI expects the SMART data API endpoint to
return a health value, but it will return an error message directly. To
make this more user friendly, mask the error in the API handler.

This could also have been intentional as the error message is passed to
the CLI and API response correctly, which is why it is a RFC.
