Agree - both methods work (getting udev to set allow_restart) and by
turning-off standby with sdparm:
% sdparm --clear STANDBY -6 /dev/sda
The big question for me .. how does one re-enable STANDBY mode on this
drive? sdparm fails to switch it back on, and even power cycles haven't
reenabled it.
Meanwhile, I wonder if the linux kernel shouldn't look at the power mode
page when it installs a new SCSI disk drive and make a note that the
drive might need spinning up if it has STANDBY enabled (or any other
automated power saving modes). This would work for all devices, without
extra hacking.
