Greetings: I've been using external USB hard drives on RHEL for more than a year. But this condition only happens on one system. I make ext3 filesystems on the devices (I have more than one here). I can mount them fine and write to them fine. But after a time period of inactivity, the drives spin down for power savings. When they wake back up, the file systems become READ ONLY. A simple umount and mount is all that's needed to remedy this, but I can't always do that in some automated processes. Has anyone else seen this behavior? The mount points are in the standard /media directory.
