Yes, the current pattern also does not work with newer 3ware
controllers as I just found out. For SMART stuff these are accessed
via the /dev/tw[ae][[:digit:]]+ node of the controller instead of the
/dev/sd[a-z] node of the unit.
And then there is the cciss stuff for Compaq Smart Array controllers,
see smartctl(8) which isn't handled by the current rules either.

Maybe a broader /dev/[[:alpha:]]+ in the rules won't hurt?
