Same problem here.

Strangely, when I tried monitoring disk access, I got no indication of any 
process accessing /dev/sdb* when the disk spun up or at any other time. I used 
this script to monitor:
    echo 1 >/proc/sys/vm/block_dump
    while ( ! dmesg -c|grep sdb ); do sleep 1; done
    echo 0 >/proc/sys/vm/block_dump

A work-around would be greatly appreciated. This pretty much prevents me
from using Mythbuntu with my current hardware as a HTPC. My motherboard
can't boot from the silent 1TB disk connected to my SATA PCI card, so I
need an old noisy IDE disk just for booting up. Can't sleep if it's
spinning up every 30 minutes in the next room.
