[smartmontools-support] Disk names with smartmontools on Windows

[support at napp-it.org]

We use smartmontools per default on Free-BSD, Linux, OSX and Solaris 
storagesystems with our multi os napp-it storage web-gui. Due the 
upcoming OpenZFS on Windows, we tried smartmontools there too

It works as expected beside disknames where it uses "Linux alike 
/dev/sd" disknames that you can use after a --scan instead the Windows 
physicaldriveX. Only way to assign smartmontools results to Windows 
disks seems to compare serial numbers. As in some cases Windows does not 
deliver correct serial numbers, this is not always possible what makes 
smartmontools on Windows sometimes useless.

Please offer a way to use Windows disknames instead Linux disknames or 
at least display Windows disknames additionally in output of scan or 
diskchecks to make smartmontools a valuable default tool on Windows too.

Thanks for the great product
