Well, obviously it is collecting the SMART data of your drive and making them available via udisks.
Not sure that is so obvious, but never mind - I don't see much reason for pulling those data every 30 minutes, though. If at all.
As we have smartd I see no point in another service doing the polling...
It also seems odd that udisks should be polling the data when there is nobody asking for it. Anyway, my problem was solved by creating: /etc/udev/rules.d/80-udisks.rules : KERNEL=="sd*[!0-9]", ATTR{removable}=="0", ENV{ID_BUS}=="ata", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="disk", ENV{UDISKS_DISABLE_POLLING}="1" I thought I might even disable udisks altogether, but apparently it's started by the dbus-daemon when somebody needs it. I don't know who that is, this system is only running a mythtv frontend. Now I just need to configure yslog not to write statistics and --MARK--, and hopefully the drive can power down for even longer. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (7.9°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
