[Bug 180986] Re: Hard drive will not stay in standby mode
Ok, my problem is different since my spin-up interval is exactly 30 minutes.

[Bug 180986] Re: Hard drive will not stay in standby mode
After eliminating swap my /dev/sdb still spins up about once an hour. I don't have any of the following installed: - hddtemp - sensors-applet - smartmontools In cat /proc/mounts I don't see any references to /dev/hdb or UUIDs of any of its partitions. I tried monitoring disk access and got no indication of any process accessing /dev/sdb* when the disk spun up or at any other time. I used this script to monitor: echo 1 /proc/sys/vm/block_dump while ( ! dmesg -c|grep sdb ); do sleep 1; done echo 0 /proc/sys/vm/block_dump Is there any way I could freeze the kernel after issuing the hdparm -S/y/Y command so that I can be sure neither the kernel nor any process is able to access the disk? That way I could make sure it's not the disk itself or the controller which decides to spin up the disk. -- Hard drive will not stay in standby mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/180986 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Ok, this is embarrassing. I had a partition on a spun-down disk being used as swap space. -- Hard drive will not stay in standby mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/180986 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm pretty sure I also had disks spin up after a couple of hours on a freshly installed Mythbuntu 9.10 Karmic Alpha 6 box. I don't have hddtemp, sensors-applet nor smartmontools installed. I'll get back with more accurate information. -- Hard drive will not stay in standby mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/180986 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

last time I used my system I saw that this was also related / caused by: - hddtemp - sensors-applet - smartmontools (I'll add more if I encounter them) -- Hard drive will not stay in standby mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/180986 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This problem is related to hddtemp, not hdparm.
