Package: scsitools Version: 0.10-1.2 Severity: important
When i execute something like "scsi-spin -d /dev/sda" my USB-harddisk starts to spin down, but even before stopping spins up again to full speed. I traced the problem to udevd, if i stop it before scsi-spin and restart it afterwards (manually with "/sbin/udevd --daemon", NOT with "/etc/init.d/udev start"!) the problem can be circumvented. But this is not a very nice solution, so i think it should be fixed. There seems to have been a similar problem with hdparm when stopping disks, the Debian bug number is #526516. The problem also exists with sdparm, executing "sdparm --command=stop /dev/sda" gives the same down-up sound as scsi-spin, maybe you can copy/forward this bug-report.
