Turns out that crond is the culpit after all, and it's happening hourly not every 15 minutes--how I got that wrong I don't know!

I have two (2) hard drives in my FC3 box, and my second drive is as loud as a buzz-saw. It's my "scratch" disk and I don't use it often, so I use the hdparm command to keep it from spinning when not in use. This method worked fine with FC2, but with FC3 something causes the drive to spin up every 15 minutes. I've looked through my cron entries and can't find anything. What could be causing this?

You mentioned that you're using "the hdparm command" to keep the disk spun down. Are you using "hdparm -y" or "hdparm -Y". I ask because I'm having a problem with "hdparm -Y", it puts my disk to sleep but I can't get it to recover when I try to mount it.
Thanks,
