Comment 4 for bug 1569843

That's great news Robbie. While of course there is a risk of regression with any change, doing this as a backport will ensure it's only installed intentionally by people who know why they want it. And by having this available, I'll be able to enable automatic SMART monitoring for my Seagate archive disks (without having them permanently awake, which they're not designed to handle), which will give me some warning if they're on the road to failure. Given I've had several disks fail due to age in recent years (all characterised by increases in pre-failure SMART attributes), I consider this a pretty important thing to have working.
