workaround by replacing the offending binary with one, that does nothing: cd /usr/lib/udisks mv udisks-helper-ata-smart-collect udisks-helper-ata-smart-collect.orig echo "#!/bin/sh exit 0" > udisks-helper-ata-smart-collect chmod +x udisks-helper-ata-smart-collect
beware: this will of course break udisk's ability to collect any smart data even from non-idling drives. also this workaround will be reversed by updates of udisk and has to be reapplied. another note on the bug: seems that the no-wakeup switch/argument of udisks-helper-ata-smart-collect does not work - at least in my case(s). ** Changed in: udisks (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- udisks wakes up unmounted drives from standby with smart polls https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/638765 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
