			== Locating devices ==

			It is important to use persistent methods of identification for disks, as device nodes are arbitrary and subject to change. The following command will print a list of storage devices, as well as partitions contained on them. When configuring smartd, you should use entries that are '''not''' suffixed with "-partX", as they refer to whole disks.
