Just FYI, I just installed a new Western Digital WD20EVDS 2 TB rotational drive and got this exact same behavior - lost interrupts etc. I had created a full-disk EXT4 partition and the corruption was so bad that whenever the machine tried to mount the FS, it caused a kernel oops which killed the whole system. I finally had to dd if=/dev/zero over the start of the drive to kill the partition table so it would stop trying to mount it on boot.
Anyway, disabling udisks-probe-ata-smart via dpkg-divert fixed things perfectly and it works fine now. This code needs to go! It should never have been added, smartmontools has been around forever with no problems but this code is killing drives left and right. It's not worth the small benefit of notifying desktop users of drive problems. -- udisks-probe-ata-smart causes HSM violations https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/574462 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
