[Bug 361446] [NEW] external hard disk does not spin down

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

I've had this issue since an update 1-2 months ago.  I can no longer
spin down my two external hard disks with "sdparm -6 -f --command=stop".
In fact, by feeling the drive itself as I issue this command, I can tell
that it spins down momentarily (for less than a second) before spinning
up again.  Is something polling external hard drives?  "killall hald-
addon-storage" did not help.  I see /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfs-hal-volume-
monitor is running, no idea what it does.  Could that be it?  This was
not an issue a 1-2 months ago.
