Public bug reported:

udisks2 has a function called housekeeping where regular stuff is done.
In example refreshing SMART data from attached drives. Currently it has
a timeout of ten minutes. The old udisks(1) was more relax and waited
thirty minutes. Therefore I have to let my drives sleep after ten
minutes at maximum before SMART data is fetched. Usually this is a bit
fast. I´m unsure whether desktop drives like these tight cycles as
laptop devices do.

If anybody thinks like me, patching is easy. Have a look at
"udiskslinuxprovider.c" in the src folder. Around line 470 is the
"housekeeping timeout" set to 10*60 seconds. Reset to a value you like
and recompile the package. I guess it won´t harm, if you update SMART
every thirty minutes instead of ten :)
