The IDE opcodes/commands can be found in the ATA specs - I don't have a
URL handy. You wouldn't see this for any SCSI drive, as they wouldn't
be using the IDE interface - but as the smartmontools were originally
only for IDE drives, perhaps it is some left over.
According to some code I saw at smrtmontools.sf.net, the 0xB0 command is
for "SMART ENABLE/DISABLE ATTRIBUTE AUTOSAVE ":
[Note: the second of these commands is listed as "Obsolete" in the ATA
specifications. It was originally defined in SFF-8035i. Most vendors
(IBM/Hitachi, Maxtor, Samsung, WD, among others) still implement it for
backwards compatibility.]
Maybe you can get rid of it by only running smartd on your SCSI drives.
