[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#827538: libatasmart4: reports drives as asleep when they are not

[Scott Talbert]

Package: libatasmart4
Version: 0.19-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

New power modes were added in later versions of the ATA spec.  Unfortunately
libatasmart4 doesn't recognize these and as a result, it believes that certain
drives are asleep when they are not.  For example, a power mode of 0x81 is
considered to be a submode of IDLE (0x80), but libatasmart considers this to be
'asleep'.

smartmontools has added support for these new modes here:
https://www.smartmontools.org/browser/trunk/smartmontools/ataprint.cpp#L2527

Ideally, sk_disk_check_sleep_mode() should be updated to handle these new power
modes.
