UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to zesty on 2016-12-05 (137 days ago)
Add '-d nvme' directive to 'DEVICESCAN' line in /etc/smartd.conf. Note that this will exclude other devices unless e.g. '-d scsi -d ata -d sat' is added also.
Background: The NVMe support in smartmontools is still EXPERIMENTAL. To avoid any serious problems after smartmontools package upgrade, I decided to exclude NVMe devices from default smartd DEVICESCAN (and 'smartctl --scan') result. This will be changed in some later release.
Package maintainers could override this decision by using --with- nvme-devicescan configure option.
