[Please don't top-post in replies] You can check the state of the drive using smartctl before trying to open a dialogue. It may be spinning down even if not 'green'. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
