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,

Wouldn't a line like
hdparm -S 60 /dev/sdc
in hdparm.conf be simpler? Switches the drive off after 5 min.
