[Bug 394892] [NEW] hddtemp in daemon-mode spins up hdd

[vguna]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: hddtemp

This bug is similar to this:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hddtemp/+bug/160621

but instead, using hddtemp in _daemon mode_ seems always to wakeup the
hdd _without_ using the -w switch.

Running like so:

root at nas:/usr/sbin# ps -waux|grep hdd
Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See http://procps.sf.net/faq.html
root      1004  0.0  0.0   4524  2020 ?        S    22:27   0:00 hddtemp.org -d -l 127.0.0.1 -p 7634 -s | /dev/sg0 /dev/sg1 /dev/sg2 /dev/sg3 /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd

followed by something like that:

root at nas:/usr/sbin# netcat localhost 7634
|/dev/sg0|WDC WD1001FALS-00J7B0|36|C||/dev/sg1|WDC WD10EADS-00L5B1|36|C||/dev/sg2|WDC WD1001FALS-00J7B0|36|C||/dev/sg3|TOSHIBA MK2018GAS|76|F||/dev/sda|WDC WD1001FALS-00J7B0|36|C||/dev/sdb|WDC WD10EADS-00L5B1|36|C||/dev/sdc|WDC WD1001FALS-00J7B0|36|C||/dev/sdd|TOSHIBA MK2018GAS|76|F|

spins up the drive immediately that was put to sleep earlier with hdparm
-y /dev/sdx.

In my opinion this should only happen when using -w in daemon-mode.

Reading the temp manually with:

root at nas:/usr/sbin# hddtemp /dev/sdc
/dev/sdc: WDC WD1001FALS-00J7B0: drive is sleeping

doesn't spin up the drive as expected.
