Hi folks, I tried to spin down my harddisk using hdparm, but when it is supposed to spin up again, then it is blocked for quite some time. dmesg says: ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen ata1.00: (BMDMA stat 0x20) ata1.00: tag 0 cmd 0xca Emask 0x4 stat 0x40 err 0x0 (timeout) ata1: port is slow to respond, please be patient ata1: port failed to respond (30 secs) ata1: soft resetting port ata1.00: configured for UDMA/133 ata1: EH complete SCSI device sda: 312581808 512-byte hdwr sectors (160042 MB) sda: Write Protect is off sda: Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 SCSI device sda: drive cache: write back The disk is a SAMSUNG SP1614C. On another machine (with a SAMSUNG SP2504C inside) there is no such problem: The disk is back after just a few seconds. Is there some trick to wake up the disk a little bit faster? Regards Harri
