You can check this by "ps aux | grep hald-addon-storage". There should be the info which devices get polled. So I would tip it's not HAL preventing the HD from spin down. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
