Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2011-09-23 00:11:00 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the
current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this
request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support
representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant,
in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 2 Michal Hlavinka 2011-11-09 10:12:02 UTC 
17 is used when DEVICESCAN does not find any device - it's for situation when smartd has been instructed to find devices

the reproducer lists not existing device, so error code 16 is correct here
