Hi, Have you looked into lm-profiler(http://linux.die.net/man/8/lm-profiler) to hopefully catch what is waking up the drive? See section 5 "Spinup Debugging" at http://samwel.tk/laptop_mode/faq I recall using that, back when I tried to optimise battery time on my laptop.
Best regards, Michael ________________________________________ Fra: ubuntu-devel-discuss-boun...@lists.ubuntu.com [ubuntu-devel-discuss-boun...@lists.ubuntu.com] på vegne af Ralf Mardorf [ralf.mard...@alice-dsl.net] Sendt: 13. august 2015 13:02 Til: Ubuntu devel discuss; Ubuntu Studio devel Emne: PS: Green hard disk drives On Thu, 13 Aug 2015 12:09:47 +0200, I wrote: >To be continued... There's no need to run smartctl again. I sit side by side to the green drive and without gvfs, libfm, lxpanel, udisks2, spacefm, rodent packages installed, something waked up the green drive. I didn't start any Qt or KDE based application, so the KDE equivalent to GVFS can't be the culprit either. In my experiences the KDE thingy only wakes up green drives after a KDE app, such as K3b was launched for at least one time, while GVFS just needs to be installed to wake up green drives. Anyway, I guess based on Qt, just QupZilla is installed, but I run IceCat. Btw. I forgot to mention IceCat, it's from upstream, not from official repos. However, QupZilla and IceCat most likely aren't involved in that issue. FWIW I use both on Arch Linux too. Now I'm absolutely clueless, what touches the green drive without reason. If I shouldn't find out myself or somebody shouldn't tell me, I need to remove my Ubuntu install, IOW I have to drop Ubuntu Studio. At the moment no pro-audio packages are installed, excepted of libjack-jackd2-0, since it's a gstreamer1.0-plugins-good dependency, so it's really a minimalist install. :( Regards, Ralf -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
