@pixelnull @GossiTheDog Doesn't that only work if the drive isn't frozen (which by default it usually is)?

@jernej__s @GossiTheDog

yep, and it's a real pita to get to not be frozen

@pixelnull @GossiTheDog

echo mem > /sys/power/state<br></br>

then wait a few seconds and wake up the machine. Your disks should now be unfrozen.

@jernej__s @GossiTheDog

you've never met any of the machines i've worked on, have you?

@pixelnull @GossiTheDog Too new (modern standby) or too old (either doesn't go to sleep, or doesn't wake up)? :)
