Since it's smartd issuing the warnings, perhaps posting your config file
would help.
Hello,
On my linux-system, s.m.a.r.t. is installed. Since quite a while, I'm
getting a disk-health warning. However, this warning concerns a hdd
that does not exist in my system. I could not find a method for
peventing s.m.a.r.t. to look for this device, in order to stop these
messages. Completely removing and re-installing s.m.a.r.t. did not
solve this "problem" either. Could you please tell me what I can do to
stop these messages from being produced?

Hope to read your reaction,
