  3) What I expected to happen:
  libatasmart4 won't read from devices with have SMART disabled (because sometimes SMART needs to be disabled as workaround, see for example https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks2/+bug/1373318)
  
  4) What happened instead:
- libatasmart4 reenables SMART on devices that have SMART disabled. libatasmart4 should second guess the user on this...
+ libatasmart4 reenables SMART on devices that have SMART disabled. (libatasmart4 shouldn't second guess the user on this...)
  
  Can be verified with
  sudo smartctl --smart=off /dev/sdb
  sudo smartctl --all /dev/sdb | grep "SMART support"
  sudo skdump --overall /dev/sdb
  sudo smartctl --all /dev/sdb | grep "SMART support"
