Hi. I've just noted that gnome-disk-utility, which cinnamon now recommends somewhere, claims (in it's README): >gsd-disk-utility-notify: >gnome-disk-utility notification plugin for GNOME Settings Daemon >Disk health failure notification (SMART status)
Not sure if it really does that,... and I'd say smartd is way more powerful + handling low-level block device stuff is not really an areay where I'd consider GNOME to be highly qualified... Nevertheless,... you may consider it as a fix for this bug. smartmontools anyway suggest smart-notifier so everyone should be happy. However, I personally would feel better if the gsd-disk-utility package could be split up so that there's a package which does only the SMART notifying... it seems a bit scary, that the gnome-disks utility shows a GUI which seemingly allows to format partitions, edit fstab options and the like. Cheers, Chris.
