Title:
gnome-disk-utility (shown as "Disks") shows SMART option grayed for
USB connect disks despite being available.
Status in gnome-disk-utility package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
gnome-disk-utility (show as "Disks" on the desktop environment running
Unity) systematically does not acknowledge that disks have SMART
capabilities when connected through a USB port; SMART capabilities are
grayed. However, 'sudo smartctl -a /dev/<disk>' works fine confirming
that there is no problem reading SMART data through a USB link. gnome-
disk-utility acknowledge SMART capabilities if the same disk is
connected through a SATA port.
Confirmed for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Trusty Tahr on 2016-01-26, gnome-disk-
utility 3.10.0, udisks 2.1.3 (built against 2.1.3) by Hans Deragon.
This bug is the same as bug #1092900 which was reported against Ubuntu
10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx. Following user dino99 suggestion, I opened this
new bug report to follow the same problem on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Trusty
Tahr.
