Description Hanmac 2012-08-06 15:52:57 UTC
gnome-disks says:  "SMART is not enabled"
but smartctl says: "SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability."

so maybe the smart detection from gnome-disks is broken?

Please attach the output of "hdparm -I /dev/sda" running as root and replace /dev/sda with whatever device it is.

I don't think smart detection is broken at all. Instead, as gnome-disks says, SMART is just not enabled on your device (SMART can be available but not enabled). hdparm(8)'s output will tell.

output of 'smartctl --all /dev/sda'

smartctl says:

SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.
SMART support is: Enabled

and hdparm says:
   *	SMART feature set


so i think it should work right?
Comment 4 David Zeuthen (not reading bugmail) 2012-08-06 18:39:21 UTC
Please attach the output of

 'skdump /dev/sda'
 'udisksctl dump'

output of 'skdump /dev/sda'

skdump was not installed but installing does not change anything to gnome-disks

Comment 7 David Zeuthen (not reading bugmail) 2012-08-06 19:13:19 UTC
Try doing 'echo change > /sys/block/sda/uevent'. Does that make it work?

If not, attach output of 'udevadm info -q all -n /dev/sda'.

What distro is this?
Comment 8 Hanmac 2012-08-06 19:19:38 UTC
yeah "echo change" make it working.

my system:
Version 12.10 (quantal) (64-Bit)
Kernel Linux 3.5.0-8-lowlatency
GNOME 3.5.4 (logged in with gnome-classic)

i hope it helps you
Comment 9 David Zeuthen (not reading bugmail) 2012-08-06 19:24:41 UTC
Your OS is apparently not initializing udev correctly - udisks relies on a bunch of udev properties (in this case ID_ATA_FEATURE_SET_SMART and ID_ATA_FEATURE_SET_SMART_ENABLED).

Closing as NOTGNOME as this is not a gnome-disk-utility or udisks problem.

Suggest to follow up with your OS vendor about this.
