Title:
  Hard Disk Health warning for removed HDD (Ultrabay)

Status in smartmontools package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  A removed hard disk (from the Ultrabay of my Thinkpad) is still being
  looked for by some SMART notifier, which throws a warning each day
  that "The hard disk health status has changed. This could mean that
  hard drive failure is imminent. It is always a good idea to have up to
  date backups."

  When clicking the details, this is displayed:

  ###
  This message was generated by the smartd daemon running on:

     host name: 
     DNS domain: 

  The following warning/error was logged by the smartd daemon:

  Device: /dev/sdb [SAT], unable to open device

  Device info:
  SanDisk SD6SB2M128G1022I, S/N:123..., WWN:456..., FW:X210400, 128 GB

  For details see host's SYSLOG.

  You can also use the smartctl utility for further investigation.
  The original message about this issue was sent at Sun Oct 16 18:59:02 2016 CEST
  Another message will be sent in 24 hours if the problem persists.
  ###

  And, of course, as the disk is entirely missing as it is now located
  two meters away, it will not respond to any smartd daemon stuff and
  therefore this naggy window will pop up again in 24h.
