Closing again. Polling drives does not apply to udisks2 as for a few
years now this is done by the kernel itself.

Can I kindly ask you to report a new bug for unrelated issues like SMART
updates? Thanks!

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: udev

  Before I upgraded the udev version of jaunty from 141-1 to 141-1.1,
  top reported about 2% total cpu usage when idle. After the update, it
  rarely drops below 35%. Though top lists udevd among the more cpu
  hungry processes, it is only listed with about 3%, while system (in
  line 3) almost never drops below 20%.

  I am using the amd64 version of Xubuntu 9.04 on a Acer Extensa 5230
  laptop with a 2 GHz Intel Celeron processor, and I have my root, home
  and swap partitions encrypted with luks. I did a fresh install and
  installed nothing but the software updates.

  The output of top looks like this:
