    SMART monitoring on Fedora 35

    After enabling SMART by Zabbix agent 2 on my Fedora 35 hosts, they are constantly printing these messages in the syslog:

    kernel: program smartctl is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO
    and

    systemd-udevd[315511]: sdd1: Failed to update device symlink '/dev/disk/by-partlabel/primary', ignoring: Too many levels of symbolic links
    systemd-udevd[315456]: sdf1: Failed to update device symlink '/dev/disk/by-partlabel/primary', ignoring: Too many levels of symbolic links
    systemd-udevd[315512]: sdc1: Failed to update device symlink '/dev/disk/by-partlabel/primary', ignoring: Too many levels of symbolic links
    systemd-udevd[315480]: sde1: Failed to update device symlink '/dev/disk/by-partlabel/primary', ignoring: Too many levels of symbolic links
    systemd-udevd[315568]: sdk1: Failed to update device symlink '/dev/disk/by-partlabel/primary', ignoring: Too many levels of symbolic links
    systemd-udevd[315567]: sdj1: Failed to update device symlink '/dev/disk/by-partlabel/primary', ignoring: Too many levels of symbolic links
    systemd-udevd[315510]: sdi1: Failed to update device symlink '/dev/disk/by-partlabel/primary', ignoring: Too many levels of symbolic links
    systemd-udevd[315564]: sdg1: Failed to update device symlink '/dev/disk/by-partlabel/primary', ignoring: Too many levels of symbolic links
    ...
    Checking the contents of '/dev/disk/by-partlabel/primary', I get this
    # ls -al /dev/disk/by-partlabel/
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Dec 10 16:41 primary -> ../../sdi1
    Two levels up it looks like this
    # ls -al ../../
    brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 129 Dec 10 16:42 sdi1
    It doesn't look like many levels of symbolic links, but on the other hand only a link to sdi1 is there, no other devices are in that folder. Am I missing something? How can I investigate this further?

    edit: My nvme drives are showing up in Zabbix, so the command itself seems to be working, however none of my mechanical drives are showing up.
