Do you know that it's an actual problem?  I believe I have seen this
before when SMART commands are sent to the wrong device.

Do you have something like smartctld or hddtemp installed or did you
simply run smartctl?

On my machines with 3ware 9xxx cards, the way to call smartctl is:

sudo smartctl -d 3ware,0 -a /dev/twa0

where the number after the comma is the disk number, e.g. 0 is the
first disk.

Cheers,
Andy
