# Same as above for Windows. Option '-d 3ware,N' is not necessary,

# NOTE: On Windows, DEVICESCAN works also for 3ware controllers.
# All but -d, -m and -M Directives are only implemented for ATA devices

# If the test string DEVICESCAN is the first uncommented text
-# then smartd will scan for devices /dev/hd[a-l] and /dev/sd[a-z]
+# then smartd will scan for devices.
# DEVICESCAN may be followed by any desired Directives.
