why is the kernel "unsleeping" a HDD put to sleep with hdparm -Y ?
So I have a 'spare' internal spinning rust bucket which I only use
for backups, and so most of the time when I'm not using it I put it
to sleep with:
sudo hdparm -Y /dev/sda
Unfortunately the kernel wakes the drive up again:

Why is the kernel doing this, and how do I stop it from happening?
TIA,
