[Bug 1092900] Re: Gnome disk (gnome-disks) utility does not show USB drive has SMART enabled. Option is grayed.
** Changed in: gnome-disk-utility (Ubuntu)
Status: Invalid => New
** 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.
+ Confirmed for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Trusty Thar on 2016-01-26, gnome-disks-
+ utility 3.10.0, udisks 2.1.3 (built against 2.1.3) by Hans Deragon.
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?
