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

[Raf]

I have not been able to reproduce the HSM violations. I rebooted 20
times, cold booted, booted with battery, replaced battery and booted,
tried 2.6.32-19 and 2.6.32-20, all of these seem to work without
problem.

Previously (after the fix went in) I sometimes got the HSM violation,
but only on boot, I was not able to trigger it by manually running
udisks-probe-ata-smart.

I have replaced /lib/udev/udisks-probe-ata-smart with a script that
generates a trace, so if it should cause an HSM violation again, it
should generate a trace output.

My understanding of this bug is that it is only related to running of
udisks-probe-ata-smart, which should only run at boot (unless
repartitioning the drive). But some reports seem to indicate failures
after boot (e.g. #234).

The workaround did seem to work for me.
