gvfs spins up sleeping HDD even if all partitions unmounted
Hi,
On my laptop I use :
- a SSD for boot and all tasks
- a HDD for storing big files
The HDD is spun down at startup and the corresponding filesystem is unmounted. I succeed in disabling all services making the HDD periodically wake up.
The only problem is that this HDD spins up when I launch thunar for the first time. If I close thunar, spin down the disk, then launch thunar again, the disk stays in sleep mode...
I found this thread without answer talking about the same issue : https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=11270
Is there a way to disable thunar first access to umounted partition ?
I first reported this bug here :
https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14998
I investigated with help from thunar developers and it appears that this bug is coming from gvfs, because it desapear when I remove gvfs and use thunar without gvfs extension, and it exists also for nautilus (other soft using gvfs).
Then i reported the bug here :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/1815378
Where Sebastien Bacher suggested to report it here.
Thank you for your help.
