#695 new enhancement
Incorrect serial number in email report after drive replacement

Description
Using the 6.3+svn4002-2+b2 version included in Debian Jessie.
After replacing a hard drive, smartd detected a smart error on the new drive, and sent an email with details. The serial number of the drive in the email was incorrect - it was the serial number of the previous drive in that slot.
Restarting the smartmontools service resulted in an email report with the correct serial number - presumably the old one was cached somewhere rather than queried.
The disks in question are in a Dell MD1000 enclosure attached to a Dell H800 raid controller - rebadged LSI SAS 2108. I haven't specified any +dsat,megaraid devices in /etc/smartd.conf, the devices seem to be noticed correctly by DEVICESCAN now, although perhaps that has some impact on the error I've encountered.

This is as expected. Smartd does not rescan device list on hotplug or re-issue IDENTIFY/INQUIRY commands before each device check. After disk replacement, it is required to manually restart smartd or request a rescan (SIGHUP).
Related: tickets #60 and #218.
BTW: Yes, devices behind LSI SAS controllers are included in DEVICESCAN since r3734.
