To reduce the noise generated by my NAS device (a LinkStation hacked to run Debian) I'm using hdparm -S 120 (spindown after 10 minutes). This seems to work, but now I'm getting this when (I think) it spins back up: 

Jan 31 10:29:22 localhost kernel: hda: drive_cmd: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
Jan 31 10:29:22 localhost kernel: hda: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }

Anybody know why this is, and if I can stop it? I'd ignore it but smartd mails me every time it happens...
