Bug 263521

Version:           3.5 (using KDE 1.2) 
OS:                Linux

On my system I have mounted a network share via nfs at /home/media. As this drive is not used most of the time, it spins down after 10 minutes without access. However, often it spins up again when using kde components, although this is not necassary. For example, clicking the K-menu or opening the context-menu for a file in konqueror may spin up the drive, although no file on the share needs to be accessed.

This behaviour is undesirable, as it results in a delay of some seconds, as the drive needs some time to spin up and as it results in some noise. 

The partition has already been mounted with noatime. I also disabled the kde option "fast copying" (which allows to copy a file via context menu to locations used in previous copy actions.

Regards,

Juergen

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
mount a partition at a mount point above your home directory (which means not in your home directory). E.g. at /home/media. Allow the drive to spin down when not accessed (there should be no other mounted partition on that drive). Access the mouned partition from your account (open/save dialogue from kde-apps, copy/delet files from konqueror. Wait for the partiotion to spin down. Work with kde without accessing the mounted partition.

Actual Results:  
disk with mounted partition will spin up.

Expected Results:  
disk should keep not spinning
