Depends how you're doing it. I'm pretty sure smartmon is perfectly capable of using /dev/disk/by-id/X; some of the maintainers are on this list, so they can comment further. However, the auto generator for it (if that's what you're using) always emits /dev/sdX, so I agree you have a problem with autogenerated files.
Many thanks James, I was unaware of the /dev/disk/by-id/X devices and you are correct, smartmontools works fine with these - mdadm also.
