One is a Maxtor Onetouch III, the other is a Seagate FreeAgent Desktop. If it matters, they are both cryptsetup LUKS disks.
I just tested in gedit, and using the file selector did not cause the drives to spin up. Then I tried navigating nautilus again, and this time, just the Maxtor disk spun up. Then I let it spin down, and I tried navigating again, and this time, neither of them spun up. This flaky behavior makes it a lot harder to figure out what the trigger is, I'm afraid... -- navigating in nautilus causes external drives to spin up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/376053 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
