Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: hdparm
Details:
I just got a new SATA hard drive and moved all my stuff to it, but I'm keeping
my old PATA around for backups, media, etc. However, compared to the new one,
it is noisy! I'd like for it to stay asleep/spun down as much as possible, but
I'm having problems making it do so. When I issue the command "hdparm -y
/dev/sda" it spins down, but it inevitably spins back up again after anywhere
from 5 to 60 seconds. Also, 'hdparm -S 1 /dev/sda' seems to have no effect.
I figured that there was some application polling the data off the
drive, so I tried unmounting its partitions. Even with no unmounted
partitions, the drive still continues to spin up! I know i've done this
in the past with older linux's. Maybe something to do with the new
libata driver?
Thanks
