Which still doesn't answer my question.  Perhaps I'm wording it poorly -- I'll
try again:

I load palimpsest and click on the entry for my hard drive, then click on the
button labelled "SMART Data" and I see this on the first line of the window
that opens:

Updated: 14 minutes ago

My question is, what happened 14 minutes ago?  I didn't do anything 14 minutes
ago, so something apparently ran in the background and updated that data.  What
is that something and how often does it run?
