Hi :) to help those who have "green" HDDs that can't keep asleep when gvfs is installed, I replaced the dummy package for gvfs I had installed by the real gvfs package and try to solve this issue by another method. There absolutely in no need to install gvfs on my machine, but since there's a "green" EU Regulation, soon or later more people will experience that their "green" drives will spin down and up again and again. The assumption is that it's udisks that wakes up sleeping drives, for gvfs seemingly configurable by /usr/share/gvfs/remote-volume-monitors/. This assumption might be wrong. $ systemctl status udisks udisks.service - UDisks Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/udisks.service; disabled) Active: inactive (dead) $ cat /usr/share/gvfs/remote-volume-monitors/udisks2.monitor [RemoteVolumeMonitor] Name=GProxyVolumeMonitorUDisks2 DBusName=org.gtk.Private.UDisks2VolumeMonitor IsNative=true NativePriority=4 What are "IsNative" and "NativePriority" for? I still search myself, but any hints are welcome, to disable _what ever_ wakes up such "green" drives. Without gvfs those drives keep asleep. Regards, Ralf
