PROBLEM:
Mounting my external drives and not using them for a while causes them
to spin down. After this happens, trying to navigate in any open
nautilus window will cause both of them to spin up. Navigating the file
system in a terminal does not cause this behavior.
I'm worried this useless spin-up behavior is reducing my drives' life
times. Navigating nautilus while they are spun up does not appear to
cause any file access on them (their 'activity' indicators are
unaffected) so I can't tell what's up.
WHAT YOU EXPECTED TO HAPPEN:
As long as I'm not actually browsing my drives, and nothing needs to
access them, I expect them to stay spun down.
WHAT HAPPENED INSTEAD:
Any use of nautilus when the drives are spun down causes them to spin
up.
