Comment 95 for bug 435190

I think many of us are using hddparm -S during boot to set the power down time. I have smartd and hddtemp configured to poll at 2 hours, and I set -S to 1 hour. Their polling frequencies need to be greater than the sleep timeout. When smartd and hddtemp poll a sleeping drive, they notice the drive is asleep and ignore it. They do not wake it up.

What is the polling frequency of devkit-disks? Once this other issue is fixed, is it still going to poll so frequently that the drive never sleeps? Is it configurable? I haven't found anything in google yet.
