SMART in general works fine.
The problem is udisksd flooding the journal with errors when trying
to poll the SMART data while the HDD is in sleep mode.

I guess this is related to 'org.freedesktop.udisks2.ata-smart-enable-disable'
which is changed when SMART is disabled in gnome-disks but apparently the
setting is not made permanently.
