Using smartmontools?

Prob a stupid question but will ask it anyway just to be sure, when using smartmontools i'm guessing i should use /dev/sda and not /dev/mapper/home and i want to check the actual hardware and not the virtual one, or would it not matter?

just try it (if you only use -a it will not harm your device).
And yes, you need to use the actual disk device, and not md or mapped device.

PS. there are no stupid questions, only laziness or stupid answers.
