Here i have an external usb disk. And i have found two issues, utilizing
it under Haiku. Are both related to power on. The first: this external hdd
has a power switch. in Haiku, when I turn on this hdd, it doesn't appear
in the list of mountables drives. To do this i have to unplug the usb
cable, turn on the hdd and reattach the cable: in this way the hdd will be
available. This problem doesn't occurs under Windows 7 and under Linux.
The second issue is always related to power management: this hdd provide
the spindown feature (after about 15 minutes of inactivity, the hdd
automatically power off itself, and when i access again to disk, the hdd
turn on again automatically)
So, under all other operating system this operation between power off and
power on happens instantly, but under Haiku takes some seconds of delay
(eg when i open the Tracker inside this hard disk).
I have also noticed that when i write data to this hdd, Tracker takes more
CPU.
hrev 45349 and i have noticed this on every Haiku revision.
PS: I have added this Ticket under "Tracker" category just because under
Servers category ain't available "mount_server".
