Comment 60 for bug 438136

Hello,

I update my Ubuntu daily (Karmic Koala 9.10, AMD64 / EXT-4 Filesystem). A couple of days ago I noticed that Palimpsest changed "Health Status" from "OK" to "Unknown". S.M.A.R.T. Status was OK, but also changed to "unknown" as did "Overall Assessment".

I ran a extended self-test but nothing changes though the harddisk is definately okay. Also did a complete removal of gnome-disk-utility, rebooted and reinstalled it without succes. I booted with Ultimate Boot-CD and did complete harddisk-diagnostic (including a mechanical check, electronics test and a full-sector check) with software provided by the manufacturer of my harddrive. Everything is OK, including S.M.A.R.T., so it must be a software bug of some kind.

My harddrive is a Samsung HM160HC, IDE, 5400 RPM, 2,5" (notebook) and is about 5 months old.
