2014-09-28 11:45:02 TheNinja description 1) Ubuntu Version: Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS Release: 14.04 2) Package Version libatasmart4: Installiert: 0.19-3 Installationskandidat: 0.19-3 Versionstabelle: *** 0.19-3 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) What I expected to happen: libatasmart4 won't read from devices with have SMART disabled (because sometimes SMART needs to be disabled as workaround, see for example https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks2/+bug/1373318) 4) What happened instead: libatasmart4 reenables SMART on devices that have SMART disabled. libatasmart4 should second guess the user on this... Can be verified with sudo smartctl --smart=off /dev/sdb sudo smartctl --all /dev/sdb | grep "SMART support" sudo skdump --overall /dev/sdb sudo smartctl --all /dev/sdb | grep "SMART support" 1) Ubuntu Version: Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS Release: 14.04 2) Package Version libatasmart4:   Installiert: 0.19-3   Installationskandidat: 0.19-3   Versionstabelle:  *** 0.19-3 0         500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main i386 Packages         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) What I expected to happen: libatasmart4 won't read from devices with have SMART disabled (because sometimes SMART needs to be disabled as workaround, see for example https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks2/+bug/1373318) 4) What happened instead: libatasmart4 reenables SMART on devices that have SMART disabled.
