As I understand it, IDLE simply means the disk isn't currently being used, and is not the same as STANDBY, so I would interpret this to mean that it has not been spun down. If that's the case then your problem may be elsewhere. You might try testing again with the disk unmounted (so the dialogue doesn't attempt to open it). poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
