Hi!
Can you try some filesystem test while forcing disk spindowns via
hdparm?
It may be bug in laptop mode, or a bug in ide (or something
related)... trying spindowns without laptopmode would be helpful.
I don't know if it would be helpful, but I run several servers with
multiple drives, usually 4-5, some of which are in RAID and some aren't,
and they all spin down and restart without problems many times a day.
The kernel is 2.6.14.? with one patch to get my unsupported VIA IDE working.
My laptop also has a spindown (five min from memory) and I have yet to
have a problem with it. Don't know if any of that is "spindowns without
laptopmode" in a useful sense.
Unless you can also reproduce the failure... no, probably does not help
much.
No, that was really the point, even on multiple systems using spindown,
I have no failures. I see four possible causes:
1 - spindown
2 - laptop mode
3 - 1 + 2
4 - bad hardware, kernel not at fault
Since I have a lot of (1) data I thought eliminating that as a cause by
itself might be helpful.
