I'm running Lucid. I can confirm that my WD Elements external USB HDD constantly wakes up when udev checks the SMART data.

Strong incentive to upgrade, if it has been. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/638765 Title: udisks wakes up unmounted drives from standby with smart polls -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
