[smartmontools-support] Old Dell PERC4 / LSIMegaRAID Controller Not Supported? Lacks SMART?

[Dachshund Digital]

Inspite of my fat fingering... :) Still an issue results... This is not 
a JBOD, but RAID 5...

# smartctl -H -d megaraid,0 /dev/sda
smartctl 7.2 2020-12-30 r5155 [i686-linux-4.19.0-16-686-pae] (local build)

Smartctl open device: /dev/sda [megaraid_disk_00] failed: INQUIRY failed

# smartctl -H -d megaraid,1 /dev/sda
smartctl 7.2 2020-12-30 r5155 [i686-linux-4.19.0-16-686-pae] (local build)

Smartctl open device: /dev/sda [megaraid_disk_00] failed: INQUIRY failed

The setup is 6 disks are in a RAID 5 set, 1 Hotspare (global) via LSI 
MedaRAID controller.  The megactl tool works, which is the older version 
of megacli.  GIven this is a PERC4 controller.

# megactl
a0       PERC 4/DC                chan:2 ldrv:1  batt:good
a0d0      1117GiB RAID 5   1x5  optimal

Does SmartMonTools expect JBOD setup?
