Hello again. I'm happy to say that spinning down correctly works for me on jaunty.
The problem is in udev rules. To keep it short: I needed to copy the 60-persistent-storage.rules file, modify ACTION!="add|change" to ACTION!="add". This way sdparm commands work. You can visit http://ssergeje.wordpress.com/2009/08/11/unmounting- external-usb-drives-in-ubuntu/ for the details and to grab a script which does all the things -- WD external drives need to be spun down, "sdparm --command=stop" doesn't work any more https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117713 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
