Bug Description
Binary package hint: hdparm
i'm using 9.15-1ubuntu9 on ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
i have two hdds. one for doing work, one for backups. the backup drive sleeps most of the time and gets mounted by my backup cronjob only once a day.
hdparm installs a power.d script /usr/lib/
hdparm offers a switch to check the drives power status (-C), but this wakes up every drive i tested. so using that is no option. a white or blacklist for drives not to wake up would be ok i guess?
for now i just created an empty shell script at /etc/pm/
