OpenSUSE distro is not equal Fedora distro. Each of them has a differently patched kernel and many packages are tweaked differently as well. So your assumption is wrong. > And I don't see > how powering my USB ports during standby will get my drive to spin down > during suspend. Well, you ain't seen anything yet ... I mean how software works :-) E.g. the PM package discovers there is a USB device to handle (suspend), it checks some BIOS-related switch (device to be powered on during PM states), and erroneously skips handling that device (logical error). Perhaps the programmer had a bad day, her boyfriend left her, she wants to fix it later (keep her job; software maintenance is a job description) :-) Have I convinced you ? If I were you I would test that condition at least. Oh, btw, in Fedora: System - Preferences - Power Management I just tried to help :-) JB -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
