No, it does not reassign its device. My knowledge of linux is limited so I can't tell you how to fix this. I'm sure there are plenty of forum posts discussing this. To check if my devices indeed did a spindown, I just listened to them :) I'm wondering how your script works to check for 5 minutes of...

Thanks. Does your drive reassign its device (For example from /dev/sdb to /dev/sdc) upon spin-up? How do you check the spin status?

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this question to, but you have been so helpful so far that I thought I would give it a try.

I'm running it headless, and when I attempt to shut it down (shutdown now), it never powers off, and the machine remains pingable, but I cannot ssh into it. Rebooting the box works like it should. I know t...
