Created attachment 101544 0001-Fix-standby-timers.patch Ok, here is an updated version that bypasses the no io skip check when the standby timer has not been enabled. I verified that it keeps reading the smart stats on an idle drive when you disable the standby timer in gnome-disks.

If the standby timer is set to at least 10 minutes ( which is the minimum on many drives ), every 10 minutes udisks tries to update the smart status of the drive, which resets the standby timer.
