Hi, thanks for PR. I think we should then wait for some multidisk output, maybe somebody else can provide it. I believe it is better to merge universal rather than hardcoded. |

I added 'quick and dirty' support for discovering disks on servers with raid controller that uses cciss linux driver. Exact model of my controller is 'HP Smart Array E200i'. On these servers I have no /dev/sd* , nor /dev/sg* devices. All disk devices are in /dev/cciss directory and look like:
According to man smartctl, smart information should be got using
smartctl -d cciss,Nfrom them where N is disk number. But unfortunately I have no servers with more than one disk with such raid contoller that's why I was able to hardcode only one disk.My suggestion is that the best way to discover all disk is parsing output of
cciss_vol_status /dev/cciss/c0d0 -V(apt-get install cciss-vol-statusin debian) but I can update the code only if I have output of it with more than 1 disk in the system.
