GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 611029
Provide UI for enabling/disabling smart support
Last modified: 2012-11-19 20:43:21 UTC
If a drive has SMART support turned off, provide a UI which allows to turn it on instead of simply failing. See also the relevant udisks bug report https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26742
It would be nice to handle all kinds of drive interesting features - e.g. # udevadm info -q all -n /dev/sda |grep ATA_FEATURE E: ID_ATA_FEATURE_SET_HPA=1 E: ID_ATA_FEATURE_SET_HPA_ENABLED=1 E: ID_ATA_FEATURE_SET_PM=1 E: ID_ATA_FEATURE_SET_PM_ENABLED=1 E: ID_ATA_FEATURE_SET_SECURITY=1 E: ID_ATA_FEATURE_SET_SECURITY_ENABLED=0 E: ID_ATA_FEATURE_SET_SECURITY_ERASE_UNIT_MIN=2 E: ID_ATA_FEATURE_SET_SECURITY_ENHANCED_ERASE_UNIT_MIN=2 E: ID_ATA_FEATURE_SET_SECURITY_FROZEN=1 E: ID_ATA_FEATURE_SET_SMART=1 E: ID_ATA_FEATURE_SET_SMART_ENABLED=1 Visually, could have a "Drive Features" dialog.
