it is obviously udevd trying to access:
A bit OT: I'm using another harddrive for backups, and that is a bit loud. To avoid that udevd is spinning it up every 5 minutes, I just remove /dev/sdc after boot, and have created a device file for it in some other place which I can use (mount,rsync,umount,hdparm -y) in my backup scripts. ;-)
Have a nice day, Berny
Wouldn't a line like
hdparm -S 60 /dev/sdc
in hdparm.conf be simpler? Switches the drive off after 5 min.
I don't think so - it's not a problem of spinning /down/ the drives, but that udevd is accessing it automatically every 5 minutes, thus spinning /up/ the drives again.
