Hi Søren. I think that it is a problem with the firmware of the Seagate drive. As a workaround, you can disable the `write cache' on the HDD; this way the LED will turn off, I think. You can look for a new firmware version for that drive too.
In any case, disabling the `write cache' is a good idea. ffs has its own way to assure that the filesystem does not become dirty by means of writing data in the right order (the drive `write cache' does not preserve this feature, as it does nothing about the BSD filesystem). ffs has its own write cache, so performance will not be hurt. Cheers, Igor.
