Got a CD-ROM or CD-RW on those devices?
I was puzzled by those errors too (also happens on RH9 if you enable
smartd) and they only happen when you have a removable device with no
medium in it...
Nothing too puzzling about it; smartd monitors drives and try to predict
if they are about to fail; it would thus have problems with empty
removable devices.
One wonders if it actually can recognise failing CDs. Anyone has
coasters they can test with smartd?
