No, it's not gone, it now spins up and down every 21 minutes and the culprit is gvfs. I don't install gvfs and if needed as a hard dependency, I build and install a dummy package. If you can't live without gvfs, then touch the drive every 15 minutes, so that it never will spin down or if possible completely turn off the drives option to spin down after a while. while test -f /file/on/the/drive ; do sleep 900 done If you want that the drives spins down after a while, the only option is to remove gvfs.
