Subject: seagate drive and i/o errors
Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2011 11:47:10 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4EA1B01E.1050903@tysdomain.com> (raw)

Hello all,
I have a quick question. When I do a ls on this drive and it's spun 
down, i get an i/o error. I'm curious if there's a way to write a module 
or do something to make the drive wake up when I do a r/w request on it? 
I've had an external and it never had this problem. I also know i could 
modify the scsi params to make it not sleep, but that doesn't work and 
that is not the best of ideas anyway. I like it sleeping, I don't even 
mind waiting for an LS. It's just hard to manage when i have to umount 
-l the directory, then figure out what sd* dev it's on.

-- 

Take care,
Ty
