Maybe try a little harder to ID the process causing the wakeup? Have you tried looking for blocked processes at the moment you hear the drive start to spin up? Look for processes in D state at the time the drive is spinning up. On Thu, Aug 13, 2015 at 6:47 AM, Ralf Mardorf

No special magic for the WSL Ubuntu install. You just apt-get install ca-certificates on the WSL Ubuntu environment command line, drop the pem certificate(s) in file(s) in /etc/ssl/certs, run update-ca-certificates (as root, use sudo) and you're done. Just make sure the pem's are globally
