I used to use hdparm -y /dev/sdb in Karmic to manually put a backup drive into standby mode. This no longer works in Lucid, which is a pity. I love these regression bugs. Examining the status of the drive with hdparm -C /dev/sdb in Karmic after -y would show the drive in standby. In Lucid, it shows it as active/idle. The drive does not spin down because in Karmic I could hear it and in Lucid I can't hear it spinning down.
