Bug Description
I've got a spare HDD (called hdb1) that never goes standby. I don't know why this is happening now because before, the HDD would sleep after 5 minutes without beeing used.
Now, whenever I "hdparm -C /dev/hdb1", the answer is:
"/dev/hdb1:
drive state is: active/idle"
If I try "hdparm -S1 /dev/hdb1", the HDD turns off and on continually (so I turn off the computer to avoid my HDD beeing blown up).
