Description

Some devices that are ideal for caching / logging via ZFS are not SMART capable (thinking of some SSDs and some flash based storage we have access to at iX). It would be a good idea to do something like the following maybe to test whether or not the device is SMART capable before making it an available SMART test target:

smartctl -i /dev/ada0

etc. It would users' lives easier at least when trying to determine why smartd isn't enabled because one of the devices isn't SMART capable.
