Cannot perform SMART data and Self-Test on external hard drive
Right now my external drive does not has any errors but I just want to check manually to make sure.
As seen from image below, the option for SMART data and Self-Test is greyed out. Also see the details about the hard drive in image itself.
- I tried running
gksu gnome-disksbut still the option is greyed out. - I ran
sudo smartctl --all /dev/sdb --test=short -T permissiveI got this error:

Same problem here. I can add that it happens in Ubuntu 14.04, but NOT in Ubuntu 12.04 where SMART is correctly read by both the GUI and the command line. Any ideas?

I had the same problem. In my case, S.M.A.R.T had been working properly on the device for years while using Ubuntu 12.04, and then under Ubuntu 14.04 it happened exactly what you tell in the question.
The problem is related to a new kernel module that was introduced in Linux Kernel 3.15 called uas (USB Attached SCSI) (see release announcement).
That module is now the responsible of managing USB Mass Storage Devices. There is a thread where people complain that uas in kernel 3.15 is causing their USB devices to fail. Another one says that it might be the cause of S.M.A.R.T problems.
Fortunately, those problems seem to be gone at kernel 3.19 (which I am using), as my device is being detected correctly. Only the S.M.A.R.T problem remains.
To fix it, you need to disable the use of uas module for the given device.
Disable uas without rebooting
First, unplug all USB devices that might be using it. Then, remove the uas and usb-storage modules:
sudo modprobe -r uas
sudo modprobe -r usb-storage
Then, load usb-storage module with a parameter that tells it to not use uas for a given device:
sudo modprobe usb-storage quirks=VendorId:ProductId:u
VendorId and ProductId must be replaced by your device vendor and product id, which can be obtained with lsusb command (they are the characters after ID).
For example, I have the following device:
Bus 002 Device 011: ID 0bc2:3320 Seagate RSS LLC SRD00F2 [Expansion Desktop Drive]
So my vendor id is 0bc2, and my product id is 3320. My command is:
sudo modprobe usb-storage quirks=0bc2:3320:u
The last u tells usb-storage to ignore uas for the device (see source).
At this point, you can insert the USB device, and it will know not to use uas, making S.M.A.R.T work properly. You will see lines like these in dmesg when inserting the USB device:
usb 2-2: UAS is blacklisted for this device, using usb-storage instead
usb-storage 2-2:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected
usb-storage 2-2:1.0: Quirks match for vid 0bc2 pid 3320: 800000
scsi host12: usb-storage 2-2:1.0
Make the change permanent
The previous quirk will only last until you reboot the system. To make it persistent, you need to follow the steps described here, which I copy below:
First, create a file named ignore_uas.conf in the /etc/modprobe.d/ directory with the following content:
options usb-storage quirks=VendorId:ProductId:u
As before, substitute VendorId and ProductId by your device vendor and product id obtained from lsusb.
Next, regenerate your inital ramdisk:
mkinitcpio -p linux
Finally, reboot your computer.

@edwardtorvalds is it the GUI what doesn't work, or alsosmartctl? In my case GUI remains greyed out (I haven't rebooted yet), butsmartctlworks.

GUI does not work and withsmartctlit givessudo: smartctl: command not found. If I try to install it saysPackage smartctl is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source

No mkinitcpio in 16.04. Ain't it "sudo update-initramfs -u" instead now?

External drives (via USB, I assume) are tricky with SMART. Some don't work at all. The smartmontools people posted a list of hard drives with command-line switches to add to smartctl (see fifth column).
For Seagate Expansion drives in particular, it looks like you need either -d sat or -d sat,12. Try the following:
sudo smartctl -d sat --all /dev/sdb
sudo smartctl -d sat,12 --all /dev/sdb
If one of those works, it tells you which -d switch to add to your smartctl commands.

check the table with supported USB Devices ...
the switch -d sat indicates, that it's supposed to be a drive with SATA port.
there are specific switches for certain USB bridges - lsusb might show the concrete name. if the bridge controller might have a bad implementation - just try to connect it native through SATA instead of USB.
SCSI and ATA (according to the shell output) are probably not what you are looking for :)

@edwardtorvalds there are two basic preconditions... having SMART enabled in BIOS/UEFI for the port (if applicable) and to have it enabled through software, before trying to read it...smartctl -T permissive --smart=on /dev/sdb(while the logs look like it would be talking to the wrong port)

@edwardtorvalds seems it's still sending SCSI commands... that -d sat switch is missingsmartctl -d sat -T permissive --smart=on /dev/sdb...and as I've wrote abovelsusbshould list which bridge it is.

Just an update I am adding on to Alvaro's answer
Just tested this in Ubuntu 18.04 for an external Seagate drive that I have where I could not get smartctl to read the drive at all. It did require a reboot because I did not want to get behind my system and mess with the USB connections.
First ran lsusb and got all my info for the drive:
terrance@terrance-ubuntu:~$ lsusb
Bus 006 Device 002: ID 0bc2:a0a4 Seagate RSS LLC Backup Plus Desktop Drive
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 1532:0118 Razer USA, Ltd
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 046d:c215 Logitech, Inc. Extreme 3D Pro
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 1532:005b Razer USA, Ltd
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
As you can see my drive has the name Seagate in it, so all I had to do is to run the following line to add the info to the /etc/modprode.d/ignore_uas.conf file:
echo options usb-storage quirks=$(lsusb | awk '/Seagate/ {print $6}'):u | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/ignore_uas.conf
Just remember to replace Seagate with the name of your drive. Now when I look at /etc/modprode.d/ignore_uas.conf I see it as:
~$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/ignore_uas.conf
options usb-storage quirks=0bc2:a0a4:u
Then just run the update-initramfs for the changes to become permanent:
sudo update-initramfs -u
Then reboot your system. Now the smartctl is able to read my external drive.
$ sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdf

The previous quirk will only last until you reboot the system. To make it persistent, you need to follow the steps described here, which I copy below:
First, create a file named ignore_uas.conf in the /etc/modprobe.d/ directory with the following content:
options usb-storage quirks=VendorId:ProductId:u
As before, substitute VendorId and ProductId by your device vendor and product id obtained from lsusb.
Next, regenerate your inital ramdisk:
mkinitcpio -p linux
Finally, reboot your computer.

GUI does not work and withsmartctlit givessudo: smartctl: command not found. If I try to install it saysPackage smartctl is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source

No mkinitcpio in 16.04. Ain't it "sudo update-initramfs -u" instead now?

I had the same problem. In my case, S.M.A.R.T had been working properly on the device for years while using Ubuntu 12.04, and then under Ubuntu 14.04 it happened exactly what you tell in the question.
The problem is related to a new kernel module that was introduced in Linux Kernel 3.15 called uas (USB Attached SCSI) (see release announcement).
That module is now the responsible of managing USB Mass Storage Devices. There is a thread where people complain that uas in kernel 3.15 is causing their USB devices to fail. Another one says that it might be the cause of S.M.A.R.T problems.
Fortunately, those problems seem to be gone at kernel 3.19 (which I am using), as my device is being detected correctly. Only the S.M.A.R.T problem remains.
To fix it, you need to disable the use of uas module for the given device.
Disable uas without rebooting
First, unplug all USB devices that might be using it. Then, remove the uas and usb-storage modules:
sudo modprobe -r uas
sudo modprobe -r usb-storage
Then, load usb-storage module with a parameter that tells it to not use uas for a given device:
sudo modprobe usb-storage quirks=VendorId:ProductId:u
VendorId and ProductId must be replaced by your device vendor and product id, which can be obtained with lsusb command (they are the characters after ID).
For example, I have the following device:
Bus 002 Device 011: ID 0bc2:3320 Seagate RSS LLC SRD00F2 [Expansion Desktop Drive]
So my vendor id is 0bc2, and my product id is 3320. My command is:
sudo modprobe usb-storage quirks=0bc2:3320:u
The last u tells usb-storage to ignore uas for the device (see source).
At this point, you can insert the USB device, and it will know not to use uas, making S.M.A.R.T work properly. You will see lines like these in dmesg when inserting the USB device:
usb 2-2: UAS is blacklisted for this device, using usb-storage instead
usb-storage 2-2:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected
usb-storage 2-2:1.0: Quirks match for vid 0bc2 pid 3320: 800000
scsi host12: usb-storage 2-2:1.0

External drives (via USB, I assume) are tricky with SMART. Some don't work at all. The smartmontools people posted a list of hard drives with command-line switches to add to smartctl (see fifth column).
For Seagate Expansion drives in particular, it looks like you need either -d sat or -d sat,12. Try the following:
sudo smartctl -d sat --all /dev/sdb
sudo smartctl -d sat,12 --all /dev/sdb
If one of those works, it tells you which -d switch to add to your smartctl commands.

check the table with supported USB Devices ...
the switch -d sat indicates, that it's supposed to be a drive with SATA port.
there are specific switches for certain USB bridges - lsusb might show the concrete name. if the bridge controller might have a bad implementation - just try to connect it native through SATA instead of USB.
SCSI and ATA (according to the shell output) are probably not what you are looking for :)

@edwardtorvalds seems it's still sending SCSI commands... that -d sat switch is missing
smartctl -d sat -T permissive --smart=on /dev/sdb ...and as I've wrote above lsusb should list which bridge it is.– Martin Zeitler

Just an update I am adding on to Alvaro's answer
Just tested this in Ubuntu 18.04 for an external Seagate drive that I have where I could not get smartctl to read the drive at all. It did require a reboot because I did not want to get behind my system and mess with the USB connections.
First ran lsusb and got all my info for the drive:
terrance@terrance-ubuntu:~$ lsusb
Bus 006 Device 002: ID 0bc2:a0a4 Seagate RSS LLC Backup Plus Desktop Drive
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub

Bus 003 Device 002: ID 1532:005b Razer USA, Ltd
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
As you can see my drive has the name Seagate in it, so all I had to do is to run the following line to add the info to the /etc/modprode.d/ignore_uas.conf file:
echo options usb-storage quirks=$(lsusb | awk '/Seagate/ {print $6}'):u | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/ignore_uas.conf
Just remember to replace Seagate with the name of your drive. Now when I look at /etc/modprode.d/ignore_uas.conf I see it as:
~$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/ignore_uas.conf
options usb-storage quirks=0bc2:a0a4:u
Then just run the update-initramfs for the changes to become permanent:
sudo update-initramfs -u
Then reboot your system. Now the smartctl is able to read my external drive.
$ sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdf

As you can see my drive has the name Seagate in it, so all I had to do is to run the following line to add the info to the /etc/modprode.d/ignore_uas.conf file:
echo options usb-storage quirks=$(lsusb | awk '/Seagate/ {print $6}'):u | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/ignore_uas.conf
Just remember to replace Seagate with the name of your drive. Now when I look at /etc/modprode.d/ignore_uas.conf I see it as:
~$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/ignore_uas.conf
options usb-storage quirks=0bc2:a0a4:u
Then just run the update-initramfs for the changes to become permanent:
sudo update-initramfs -u
Then reboot your system. Now the smartctl is able to read my external drive.
$ sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdf

Same problem here. I can add that it happens in Ubuntu 14.04, but NOT in Ubuntu 12.04 where SMART is correctly read by both the GUI and the command line. Any ideas?
