[PVE-User] Strange SMART data behaviour... smartd and PVE have different serial...

[Marco Gaiarin]

Look at the photo attached. Srver just installed, four HDD (that SMART and
PVE identify correctly) and two SSD disk that PVE put in state 'UNKNOWN'.

SSD disks are behind an HP controller, put in HBA mode.


But if i try to check the disks using 'smartctl':

 root at svpve3:~# smartctl -d cciss,0 -a /dev/sde
 smartctl 7.2 2020-12-30 r5155 [x86_64-linux-5.4.203-1-pve] (local build)

note that the serial are different. If i add to 'smartd.conf:

 /dev/sde -d cciss,0 -a -m root -M exec /usr/share/smartmontools/smartd-runner
 /dev/sdf -d cciss,1 -a -m root -M exec /usr/share/smartmontools/smartd-runner

disks get monitored, but state file have the 'smartd' serial, not the 'PVE'
serial.

What i'm missing here? Where PVE get the disk serial?

Thanks.
