Hi, sorry for reopening such an old bug, but I found it via Google
searching for my problem and the information in here was very helpful.
So I thought it would be a good idea to put this related information
here.

The problem: The solution explained here is not working for me.

I set both variables I found to "disabled":

# udevadm info -q all -n /dev/sda |grep SMART
E: ID_ATA_FEATURE_SET_SMART=0
E: ID_ATA_FEATURE_SET_SMART_ENABLED=0

But the drive is still polled. I verified it using

# udisksctl monitor

Distribution is openSUSE 13.1 and udisks2 version is 2.1.1.

Any hints what is wrong here?

I have a some machines with SSDs for OS and additional Western Digital
drives that would be in standby most of the time if udisks wouldn't poll
them. Standby timeout cannot be set low enough for the drives.

With udisks1 disabling polling was working as described in this bug and I was 
able to use smartd to check the SMART status, because it is possible to
- adjustable polling time and
- polling is working on drives in standby without waking them up.

cheers,
Jochen
