Binary package hint: gnome-disk-utility

When the GNOME "disk utility" is opened from System -> Administration -> Disk Utility on a Lenovo / IBM T60p, the SMART status of the main internal hard drive is displayed as "not supported". This hard drive is recognized by the program as a SATA drive, as is using the correct kernel driver (ahci).

Using the smartmontools package, however it is possible to recover SMART status on the same drive:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo smartctl --all /dev/sda > smart.data
(see attached file for output)

This issue has been replicated on multiple T60p machines (model 2007-CTO).
