I usually spin a slave drive down with 'hdparm -y /dev/xxx'
now on 9.04 it's spinning back up right after that command and this is printed


[ xxxx.xxxxxx] ata6.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6

[ xxxx.xxxxxx] ata6.00: waking up from sleep

with x being different numbers each time.

The drive is noisy but I'd rather not remove it. Someone have a clue what's going on?
