I have the same effect with my backup disc on my server since my last reboot. It's with 2.6.26-2-amd64 kernel of current debian sid. The Hitachi SATA disc in question is connected as a single device unit via 3ware 9650SE-4LPML.
My scripts always worked properly (using sdparm -C stop) but now when I issue the SCSI STOP command, I see the drive status on my SATA backplane going on error for approx. 1 sec. After that I hear the drive spinning up again (which was just about to *start* its spindown, so it resarts while approx. still 85% spinning speed). The curious thing ist that reverting to my previous kernel (scripts worked with, I log the drive status using "smartctl --nocheck standby") did not help either. So I'm stuck. Neither sdparm nor smartctl packages were updated even since the kernel version before the now old one. Using scsi-spin or sg_start doesn't help either. -- hard disk will not spin down with kernel 2.6.29-11 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/359513 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
