To furthermore pinpoint the problem it seems that the spinning up is happening because devkit is pooling the disk for smart data. I did the following:
r...@jupiter:~# hdparm -y /dev/sdc /dev/sdc: issuing standby command r...@jupiter:~# hdparm -C /dev/sdc /dev/sdc: drive state is: standby r...@jupiter:~# devkit-disks --ata-smart-refresh /dev/sdc >dump.txt r...@jupiter:~# hdparm -C /dev/sdc /dev/sdc: drive state is: active/idle but according to the devicekit man page it should only wakeup the disk if I issued devkit-disks --ata-smart-refresh /dev/sdc --ata-smart-wakeup -- Disk wakes up every 30 minutes and produces errors on dmesg https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/435190 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
