I get these repeated warnings in the log of my home server:

But the thing is, smartctl can read that disk just fine:

Looking at the /var/log/messages file, it gets weirder:

It did read the temperature change, but it claims the other errors, which are false.
The configuration is:
Isengard:~ # cat /etc/smartd.conf | egrep -v "^[[:space:]]*$|^#" /dev/sda -a -S on -T permissive -s (S/../.././02|L/../../6/03) -m root@telcontar.valinor /dev/disk/by-id/wwn-0x5000c50075a83eaf -d removable -a -o on -S on -s (S/../.././02|L/../../6/03) -m root@telcontar.valinor /dev/disk/by-id/wwn-0x5000c5009399305f -d removable -a -o on -S on -s (S/../.././02|L/../../6/03) -m root@telcontar.valinor /dev/disk/by-id/wwn-0x5000c500c4beb480 -d removable -a -o on -S on -s (S/../.././02|L/../../6/03) -m root@telcontar.valinor /dev/disk/by-id/usb-WD_My_Book_25EE_32544B5354325344-0:0 -d removable -a -S on -s (S/../.././02|L/../../6/03) /dev/disk/by-id/usb-WD_My_Book_25EE_37484B53554B424A-0:0 -d removable -a -S on -s (S/../.././02|L/../../6/03) Isengard:~ #
