Could be a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/plainbox-provider-checkbox/+bug/1367960.

Gabriel, on this system, could you please run this command:

/usr/share/2013.com.canonical.certification:checkbox/bin/disk_smart -d -b /dev/sda -s 130 -t 270

then paste the output of that command here?

Also, could you run this too:

smartctl -t short /dev/sda

and attach the output here?

What's the version of the disk_smart script being used? (There's a mini-changelog at the top of the script.) I made a lot of changes recently, and the latest version (1.4) has a comment on line 218, where your output indicates the failure occurred, so I suspect you're using an older version. The latest version is in checkbox trunk. If the latest version doesn't fix the problem, output of the smartctl command that Daniel suggested may be required to fix it.

Retest on plainbox - 0.21.2, the issue could not be reproduced.
