Hi there, I have exactly the same problem right now on cauldron, my laptop harddrive spin down every 5secs. If I disable udisks (systemclt --system), then the pb is solved. Dunno if related or if you want me to open a bug for udisks. Cheers, Chris.

I don't know whether it is related either, but because your bug is against cauldron and this one against "1", it should go into a new bug report anyway. Please come back here to give the bug number of your new report. If the cause turns out to be the same, then this bug should be set to depend on yours, because same bugs always get solved in cauldron first.
Done, with a more careful investigation, the problem is from upowerd.service and not udisk. The bug number is 5042 https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5042 cheers, chris.

This message is a reminder that Mageia 1 is nearing its end of life. In approximately 25 days from now, Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 1. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '1'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version prior to Mageia 1's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Mageia 1 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. -- Mageia Bugsquad
As it will not likely be solved in 25 days; a fix is also mentioned there: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5042#c3 cheers, chris.
