[Bug 743927] Re: palimpsest do not give smart information to current user for usb connected sata hard drives

 

Confirmed;  doesn't seem to be a simple matter of root privilege though,
but rather some missing plumbing when the device is connected via USB.

Title:
  SMART status is not supported in palimpsest for USB hard-drives

Status in “gnome-disk-utility” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-disk-utility

  If I connect my hard drive with a USB connector, palimpsest reports
  SMART Status as "Not Supported".  However, when using the smartctl
  command line utility, the correct SMART information is returned for
  the drive.
