[Bug 445852] Re: devkit-disks-probe-ata-smart causes HSM Violations on SSD, and potential hardware death

[Martin Pitt]

I'll disable the probing in karmic for now; it's not really critical for
the system to work, it will just disable the warnings that you'll get
for potential disk failures from SMART. But that's much better than the
current situation.

I will check the smartmontools code what they do differently. The
problem does not happen on my two computers (one HDD, one SSD), so I'd
really appreciate if someone affected could give me ssh access to such a
system? (second key on https://launchpad.net/~pitti/+sshkeys).

With that we at least have some more time to figure out a proper fix in
libatasmart. I'll start with pursuing the IDENTIFY PACKET DEVICE path as
suggested by Jean-Louis, thanks for that!
