Description Sascha Zorn 2008-10-01 11:50:04 UTC

Description of problem:
Even if the -w (wakeup) flag is NOT provided, hddtemp spins up the disk. 

I found that this bug is already discussed in launchpad #160621
and regarded as solved for version 0.3-beta15-43.

I've checked the rawhide repo for a version that contains this fix, but the version there is still buggy.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.3-0.15.beta15.fc9

How reproducible:
#hdparm -C /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
 drive state is:  standby

# hddtemp /dev/sda
/dev/sda: FUJITSU MHV2080BH: 39°C

# hdparm -C /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
 drive state is:  active/idle
  
Actual results:
drive spins up

Expected results:
check does not take place if -w is not provided, maybe check if a disk supports a readout without waking it up

Thanks for the report.  Confirmed on two F-9 boxes, one with a PATA (libata) drive and another with a SATA drive, applying the fix from Debian fixes both.

I've tried hddtemp-0.3-0.16.beta15.fc9 and can confirm that hddtemp now behaves correctly!

Comment 5 Ville Skyttä 2008-10-09 19:45:28 UTC

Thanks for the confirmation.  If you don't mind, providing one more "works for me" comment in Bodhi for the update (see comment 3 for the URL) would cause it to be pushed to stable updates...
