Bug Description

The Checkbox SMART test (disk_smart), and its resource job (block_device_resource), skip testing of disks controlled by RAID controllers; however, the underlying test tool (smartctl) does support testing of disks managed by certain types of RAID controllers -- namely, megaraid, 3ware, areca, and cciss. (hpt is also available but uses a more complex syntax.) Thus, testing disks connected via these controller types is possible and desirable.
