I confirm John Reid's patch to udisks2 allows my WDC WD40EZRX-00SPEB0 to spindown into standby after 10 minutes (Ubuntu 14.04, udisks- udisks2-2.1.3. The patch actually failed so I applied it manually).
But exactly at the 30 minute mark it spins back up into idle mode, even though gnome-disks says that the last check was 30 minutes ago. So it appears that polling _is_ in this case waking up the drive and I need to do more than just assign a sane polling interval to udisks. Any idea why this would be? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1281588 Title: Disk standby timer is broken To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks2/+bug/1281588/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
