Depends how you're doing it. I'm pretty sure smartmon is perfectly
capable of using /dev/disk/by-id/X; some of the maintainers are on this
list, so they can comment further. However, the auto generator for it
(if that's what you're using) always emits /dev/sdX, so I agree you have
a problem with autogenerated files.
