The first beta of Lucid was released and we have not yet found a solution for the HSM violations and corruption. I would really hope that we can find a way to fix this before the final release.

A proper solution would be a patch for libatasmart, but I have not seen any progress.

A first workaround would be to disable the use of udisks-probe-ata-smart in 80-udisks.rules. I haven't found anything using the result of the SMART test (ID_ATA_FEATURE_SET_SMART, ID_ATA_FEATURE_SET_SMART_ENABLED, UDISKS_ATA_SMART_IS_AVAILABLE). And I don't think they are documented.

An alternative workaround would create a blacklist in 80-udisks.rules, so that SMART test is not run on the devices identified above (and possible others).

I would like to know if the developers are willing to accept either of these workarounds.
