Bug ID: 510681
Summary: Starting Discover wakes up all the drives in the
system (all drives spun-up from suspend)
Classification: Applications
Product: Discover
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: discover

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Each time Discover is started it first wakes / spins-up all the drives in the
system. This delays its startup, increases power usage / noise levels and wears
out the drives.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Put at least one drive you are currently not using in a standby mode, for
example using:
hdparm -y /dev/<drive_name>
2. Make sure the drive is in standby mode. You can use:
smartctl -n standby,1 -a /dev/<drive_device_name> 2> /dev/null
3. Start Discover
OBSERVED RESULT
All the drives are spun up.
You can observe that it was spun for example by again using:
smartctl -n standby,1 -a /dev/<drive_device_name> 2> /dev/null
EXPECTED RESULT
Only paths that need to be accessed should be affected. Definitely not data
drives which are never used for SW installs.
