I would like to upgarde my Cubietruck headless server from Legacy to Vanilla.
With Legacy if I boot from NAND I can get my hard disc to spin down. But with SD card/sda root file system (as required by Vanilla) I can't get my disc to stop: if I issue 'hdparm -Y /dev/sda' it spins up again after a short interval.
I have done everything I can think of to ensure that rsyslog is not writing to disc.
Syslog shows frequent ata error messages that seem to coincide with the disc re-starting. Error msg:
kernel: [ 104.477850] ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x200 SErr 0x0 action 0x6
I have tried this on two different Cubieboards with different makes of hard drive. Same error.
Has anyone else encountered this, or had success with disc spin down with Vanilla?
