[Bug 1092900] Re: Gnome disk utility doesnt show usb HDD has SMART enabled
** Description changed:
+ gnome-disks (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. gnome-disks
+ acknowledge SMART capabilities if the same disk is connected through a
+ SATA port.
+
+ Confirmed for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Trusty Thar and previous versions.
+
+ Original report -->
+
In terminal it wasnt enabled but it was supported.
I enabled it in 12.04 ubuntu in terminal.
In 10.04 in terminal it shows its enabled but see screenshot in Disk utility it doesnt show SMART.
PS. I formated using Disk utility using : Dont partition and in fdisk -l it doesnt show any partitions. Thats then showing all correctly?

Formated using DISK Utility with not usual options:
In DISK UTILITY Formated using: Dont partition and & FORMAT VOLUME to FAT (not possible to NTFS)
