Package: base Severity: important i have extra SATA disk which i use rarely. so to reduce some power consumption and noise - i put the disk to 'start in sleep state'. i've done it with hdparam -s /dev/sdX. obviously i have removed all links in fstab to that drive. to prevent any auto mount.
motor of the disk is no longer starting when bios is booting-up the machine, but unfortunetly it does when system starts INIT section (after initrd finishes it's job). i cannot discover what exactly makes disk to start it's motor but it's possibly sata_nv driver - motor begins to work near logs from this driver. i would like to start my extra disks on demand - when they are needed, but as for now i can't do that.
