Rocko, Slightly OT
I see a variety of behaviour., based on the disks. On 14.04 with the 30min polling patch: If you set the spindown to 15 mins and poll at 30, all of my disks spin down and stay down ( see list above). If you set the spindown to 5 and polling to 10, I have problems with the WD not being able to be set to less than the polling frequency ( as discussed original problem). However I also see problems when poilling is within 1-3 min or so of the spindown on the Seagate drive. I havnt tried to work out exactly whats happening, or exact timings . But the seagate doesnt seem to cache anything hdparm doese either. so hdparm -C will wake it. In summary, The 3 samsung drives stay down, but the seagate spins up if polled too soon after its spindown. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to udisks2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1281588 Title: Disk standby timer is broken Status in “udisks2” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: gnome-disk-utility's support for the drive standby timer is broken.
