This is interesting to hear as I have been using smartmontools on my

drive across 3 drives, and a RAID 0 across 2 drives.

Kernel version matters. With 2.6.22 we only got occassional complaints
that the drives are not capable of SMART checks that were not true but
were otherwise harmless. With 2.6.26 and 2.6.30, the controller offlines
the disks.
