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?
