Strangely, when I tried monitoring disk access, I got no indication of any process accessing /dev/sdb* when the disk spun up or at any other time. I used this script to monitor:
echo 1 >/proc/sys/vm/block_dump
while ( ! dmesg -c|grep sdb ); do sleep 1; done
echo 0 >/proc/sys/vm/block_dump
A work-around would be greatly appreciated. This pretty much prevents me from using Mythbuntu with my current hardware as a HTPC. My motherboard can't boot from the silent 1TB disk connected to my SATA PCI card, so I need an old noisy IDE disk just for booting up. Can't sleep if it's spinning up every 30 minutes in the next room.
Same problem here.
