I forgot: when I listen closely, it sounds like the drive getting the signal to stop, but then spinning up again instantly.
I remember dealing with an "allow-restart" parameter for a Seagate FreeAgent disk a few weeks ago, that had to be set in /sys via a udev rule to allow the drive to be restarted by the kernel. It otherwise would suspend even during i/o, causing errors. It seems that allow_restart is set for the usb disk by default now (karmic), however, it does not help to set it from "1" to "0". suspend- usb-device still fails with the same errors. -- WD external drives need to be spun down, "sdparm --command=stop" doesn't work any more https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117713 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
