* [gentoo-server] smartctl: target a signle disk of a scsi raid array, not the raid array?

How do I use smartctl (smartmontools) on a single disk in a scsi raid
array? I've done it before, I just forget how. /dev/sda is the entire
array, not an individual "disk".

If it's *real* hardware RAID, you probably can't as you don't get device nodes 
for the individual drives.

It's real, and I would agree if I didn't clearly (not clearly enough to
see the command though) remember doing it in the past few months.

Thanks :)
