In addition to the above patch, I made the housekeeping more configurable. It adds the commandline parameter "housekeeping" which can be used to set the amount of minutes of the interval (0=disable housekeeping). Might not be a clean implementation, but at least it's pretty straight forward to get the idea.
To apply the changes in the system add "--housekeeping=15" to the command lines in /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.UDisks2.service and /lib/systemd/system/udisks2.service ** Patch added: "AdjustableHousekeeping.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks2/+bug/1373318/+attachment/4220338/+files/AdjustableHousekeeping.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1373318 Title: Udisks2 prevents HDDs from going to standby because of polling SMART information To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks2/+bug/1373318/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
