[mythtv-users] "hdparm -S xx" hangs backend?

Is it possible that setting the mythtv rinbuffer drive to spindown
causes the backend to crash?

I use "hdparm -S 242" on the device that mythtv uses for live-tv and It
seams like the backend crashes when about to watch Live-TV ONLY when the
drive has entered powersave mode.

Can someone else very this, maybe by running "hdparm -S 1" and then
trying watching live-tv after the drive has spun down. (-S 1 => 5
seconds till spindown so don't use it permanently)

Someone?
