zfs discuss - Feb 2011 - zfs-discuss Digest, Vol 64, Issue 21

I obtained smartmontools (which includes smartctl) from the standard apt
repository (i''m using nexenta however), in addition its neccessary to
use the device type of sat,12 with smartctl to get it to read attributes
correctly in OS afaik. Also regarding dev id''s on the system, from what
i''ve seen they are assigned to ports therefor do not change, however
upon changing a controller will most likely change unless its the same chipset
with exactly the same port configuration. Hope this helps.
