Hello!

I've been trying to get the standby of my harddisk work for hours. I am actually really frustrated :-) . My problem is that whenever I but my hdd to standby, it stays there for a few seconds and then comes back to work again. So I first thought that there must be any program accessing the harddisk on a regular basis. So I ran lm-profiler - but nothin'. There is no program accessing my hdd.

I tried both. laptop-mode and hdparm to get my hdd to standby.

*/etc/init.d/laptop-mode start (default configuration)*

and

*hdparm -S 5 /dev/sda*

I don't get any error messages. My hdd just doesn't want to spin down permanently...

It's an SATA drive (/dev/sd*).

Any hint?

Cheers,
Jay
