Severity: normal

Hi,

noflushd syncs some devices before spinning down a disc.

Spinning down /dev/discs/disc0/disc.
Syncing /dev/hda
Syncing /dev/hda1
Syncing /dev/hda2
Syncing /dev/hda3
Syncing /dev/hda4
Syncing /dev/hda5
Syncing /dev/hda6
Syncing /dev/dm-0
Syncing /dev/hda
Syncing /dev/hda1
Syncing /dev/hda2
Syncing /dev/hda3
Syncing /dev/hda4
Syncing /dev/hda5
Syncing /dev/hda6
Syncing /dev/dm-0
Sending spindown command to /dev/discs/disc0/disc.

But if devfs is used and one of these devices does not exist, a modprobe
is triggered, which access the disc and no spin down happens. It's a
vicious circle.

Jörg.
