smartd gives 'smartd[PID]:Configuration file /etc/smartd.conf parsed but has no entries (like /dev/hda)' message while booting the system

What do the messages mean and can they be safely ignored?
smartd[9181]: Opened configuration file /etc/smartd.conf
smartd[9181]: Configuration file /etc/smartd.conf parsed but has no entries (like /dev/hda)
