I see exactly the same here. This is very annoying. Spinning up a HDD 48 times
per day will make it age faster, not to mention the extra power consumption and
noise. This needs to be fixed quickly. udisks should never poll sleeping disks.
BTW, I have been trying to run a long SMART self-test on my external drive
several times yesterday, and it never completed. smartctl says:
Num Test_Description Status Remaining LifeTime(hours)
LBA_of_first_error
# 1 Extended offline Aborted by host 70% 637 -
# 2 Extended offline Aborted by host 80% 615 -
# 3 Extended offline Aborted by host 90% 614 -
# 4 Short offline Completed without error 00% 613 -
# 5 Extended offline Aborted by host 70% 608 -
So it was supposedly "aborted by host" but certainly not by me. Now I suspect
that the repeated polling by udisks is what caused the test to be aborted. The
test is supposed to take 107 minutes to complete, and the furthest the test
went is ~30% which corresponds to ~32 minutes. This is suspiciously close to
the 30 minutes polling period of udisks.
So this would be another annoyance from udisks.
I presume I can't uninstall or stop udisks altogether, but is there a way to
disable the SMART helpers, at least until the issues above are resolved?
