Title:
  Too fast "housekeeping" prevents harddrive from sleeping

Status in udisks2 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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 :)
