[Bug 1131713] Re: DiskMonitor not working

[Alain Miltenburg]

** Description changed:

  I am unable to get the DiskMonitor working on my server. Powernap still
  wants to suspend when the disks are spinning.
  
- I have added the options below to the [DiskMonitor] section of /etc/powernap/config and restarted the service.
- sda = y
- sdb = y
- sdd = y
- --- 
+ Steps to reproduce:
+ 1. sudo apt-get -y install powernap
+ 2. sudo hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda (Sets spindown to 5 minutes for drive sda)
+ 3. After 10 minutes: sudo hdparm -C /dev/sda Check if spindown is working
+ 2. sudo hdparm -S 251 /dev/sda (Sets spindown to 5,5 hours)
+ 4. sudo apt-get install -y powernap
+ 5. add this to the [DiskMonitor] section of /etc/powernap/config: sda = y
+ 6. sudo service powernap restart
+ 
+ Expected behaviour:
+ Powernap should not take any powersaving actions while the configured harddrive keeps spinning.
+ 
+ Encountered behaviour:
+ Powernap takes powersaving actions while the harddrive is still spinning.
