Re: hdparm standby timeout not working for WD raptors?

# hdparm -S1 -C /dev/sda; sleep 6; hdparm -C /dev/sda

/dev/sda:
 setting standby to 1 (5 seconds)
 drive state is:  active/idle

/dev/sda:
 drive state is:  active/idle

That's interesting.

So, either something is regularly accessing/polling the drive,
or it just doesn't work with the standby timer.

Are there any interesting kernel messages being generated
during execution of those commands?
