The Disks application (neé Palimpsest) is only the GUI - udisks, udev and the kernel is where this information is from. Please attach (as plain text files) the output of 'udisksctl dump' and 'udevadm info --export-db'.

I have to apologize - I simply forgot to choose other filenames :-(
> E: ID_ATA_FEATURE_SET_SMART=1 > E: ID_ATA_FEATURE_SET_SMART_ENABLED=0 Actually SMART is disabled for your disk (use e.g. hdparm(8) to enable it) so we are doing the correct thing by not trying to use any of the SMART commands [1] on it. It's subtle but the UI actually says "SMART is not enabled" as opposed to "SMART is not available". Why does it work this way? Because if SMART is disabled [1] we assume it's disabled for a reason - e.g. to avoid the OS poking and interfering with the drive. Closing NOTABUG since there things are working as intended. [1] : SMART is enabled by default on new disks coming out of the factory (for all drives that I've ever seen)
Hi David, sorry, but I don't understand what you wrote! What I did, was "sudo smartctl -s on /dev/sda" and "sudo smartctl -s on /dev/sdb". The man page of smartctl says: -s VALUE, --smart=VALUE Enables or disables SMART on device. The valid arguments to this option are on and off... So using "on" should enable smart for these drives. Still palimpsest is not successful in reading the smart info :-( Additionally, hdparm has no option to enable smart (I scanned the whole "man 8 hdparm" output for smart, and nothing was found! Obviously I'm doing something wrong?less Kind regards Joachim
You have to either reboot or do something like this echo change > /sys/block/sda/uevent otherwise the udev database and the rest of userspace is not notified about the change.

Hi David, thank you very much for this information! Now I can read smart data with palimpsest :-) Kind regards Joachim
Glad to hear you can read SMART data. I've now filed https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=684729 to have a switch button to turn SMART on and off from the GUI.
