Thank you Selim :) I already know it, since it's mentioned at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Advanced_Format#Disable_via_hdparm but when idle3ctl, also mentioned on this page, didn't work, I decided to remove the gvfs crap. If GNOME and Xfce Thunar developers don't care about EU regulations, then they are idiots. I don't agree myself with all EU regulations, but if a drive spins down after 30 minutes, it's a valide value. There's no need for gvfs to touch the drive. However for some usage I prefer the drive never to spin down, so I will test hdparm, when I need it. At the moment I run a script that touchs the drives in intervals, to avoid a spin down, when I don't want it to spin down, but most of the times I prefer the energy saving mode, that works as wanted, if gvsf is removed. http://mail.xfce.org/pipermail/thunar-dev/2013-March/004973.html For those understanding German, even people who don't have this WD issue don't like gvsf. GNOME and if Xfce does follow GNOME simply is crap. I'm still using Xfce and GNOME apps myself, but I'm pissed off and stop reporting bugs, neither to maintainers, nor to upstream, excepted of bugs for audio production apps, since they do care about real live.
