Hello, I have two hard disks (IDE) on my Testing machine. The main one that I use is hda. I have some partitions on hdb. I use noflushd to spin hdb down when it is not in use. However, I have noticed recently that the disk spins up immediately after noflushd spins it down. I see these in syslog: ay 28 19:33:06 red noflushd[7703]: Spinning down /dev/hdb. May 28 19:33:13 red noflushd[7703]: Spinning up /dev/hdb after 0 minutes.
hdb partitions are mounted thus: $> mount | grep hdb /dev/hdb3 on /mnt/snapshot type ext3 (ro) /dev/hdb5 on /mnt/homedisk5 type ext3 (rw) /dev/hdb4 on /media/disk2 type ext3 (rw) I have this in /etc/default/noflushd PARAMS="-n 30 /dev/hdb -v" How do I find out why does hdb not remain spun down? It used to work okay till I think several weeks ago; not sure when the behavior actually changed. Thanks. -- Please reply to this list only.
