Package: smartmontools Version: 5.41+svn3365-1 I have a portable hard drive, a WD "my passport". Recently, after disconnecting, smart-notifier started giving me regular warnings about not being able to access the disconnected device. Since the device is disconnected, this is little surprising and little helpful.
I haven't tried whether this is reliably reproducible. One thing making this case possibly special is that the harddisk actually has bad blocks that would be a reason for warning. A single warning about a disconnected device is probably useless, but doesn't hurt. Repeatedly warning about a device that is disconnected is not only useless but annoying. In partictular since everytime I get a popup, I first have to unfold the part that contains the actual error. If I get too many, I'll start not looking at the errors. The net result is that important errors are shadowed by the useless warnings. Please disable these notifications! Thank you!
