Public bug reported: Binary package hint: udisks
udisks 1.0.1-1ubuntu1 on ubuntu 10.04. Similar to bug #659620, udisks seems to be called on AC state changes, which tries to call /sbin/hdparm -S 12 /dev/sdX on all block devices. this was revealed by changing /sbin/hdparm to a script, which echos the output of ps aux: root 2165 0.0 0.0 57332 2092 ?

S 03:15 0:00 \_ /bin/bash /sbin/hdparm -S 12 /dev/sda as workaround i created a small script instead of /sbin/hdparm, that checks if it is called by udisks. if so, it does nothing else it calls the real hdparm executable: #!/bin/bash ps -p $PPID -o pid= -o comm= | grep udisks ret=$? if [[ $ret -ne 0 ]];then # found udisks /sbin/hdparm.orig $@ # else # not found fi ** Affects: udisks (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- On AC state changes udisks-daemon wakes disks from standby https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/660250 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
