Package: hdparm
Version: 6.6-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

Whilst playing around with hdparm -C on some IDE drives connected via 
IDE-USB adapters, it became apparent that it was reporting standby, when
it really should have been reporting unknown. This is apparent when
running hdparm under strace. It gets an ENOTTY back from the ioctl()
call, and then goes on to report the drive being in a standby state. It
should, according to the manpage, be reporting "unknown".

regards

Andrew
