[mdlug] Lurkers Please Talk to Me

While I don't have an answer to that question, I do welcome you to ask about it.

I've never heard of a sleep mode for USB drives.  It will be interesting to hear what you find out.

I usually do not have questions and most things seem to get adequate 
responses. But since you mention it I have been having a problem with 
rsyncs (inside a cron job script) to new external usb drives. I think 
the issue is related to these drives having some sort of sleep mode. I 
tried to get around this by doing an ls command to the drive a couple 
times with sleep commands. The directory commands seem to work now but 
when it tries to rsync sometimes it gets errors writing to the drives 
saying it is a read only file system. Which I had rsynced to the same 
partition earlier in the day. Any suggestions?
