I've got a frontend-only box which spins down its disk once it has

disabling swap and syslogd, putting ntpd's drift file on a tmpfs
partition, etc.

This works fine -- there are never any spontaneous disk wakeups.

HOWEVER, some menu operations within mythfrontend cause the disk to
spin up -- an example is accessing the 'Watch Videos' menu item.

Has anyone else encountered this, and fixed it?  If so, how?
Sounds like Myth is accessing the XML theme info/images (which it seems to do to allow changing the theme without restarting Myth). Have you tried putting these on a tmpfs? ( probably all of /usr/local/share/mythtv/ but you can "trim" out themes you're not using)
