How to file a bug against an unknown package? - Was: Green hard disk drives

[João M. S. Silva]

I'm not sure if I understood your issue correctly, but I also have a 
server with a mechanical disk which periodically spins, don't know why.

There are tools like powertop or so, but I guess you already tried that. 
I think I also did and it didn't help.

Maybe try Linux (kernel) IRC channel?
