The issue which I wrote seems to solved is not solved.  The previous E-mail was result of my mistake.  I didn't realized that smartd.conf was overwrited on installation of smartmontools. When I re-write smartd.conf to of my own, the strange behavior occurred again.  The strange behavior is that trying to launch smartd via automatic process, in macOS, it is called launchd, smartd reports "Failed to open nvme device".  But when trying to launch smartd manually, I mean via command line, smartd never report such kind of error...
