When looking into disk power-save, I notice that all spare disks attached to a rebuilding array is sent some type of write request every around 5 second. In my case, where I have perhaps 12 spares attached to an array, it unnecessary prevents the remaining 11 spares from entering standby mode when a rebuild is happening. Is it possible to do something about this? -- Bj(/)rnar -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
