First, I follow this:
http://alienghic.livejournal.com/382903.html
# the drive reports something like this
$ sudo sdparm -a /dev/sde
/dev/sde: Seagate FreeAgent Pro 400A
Power condition mode page:
IDLE 0 [cha: n, def: 0, sav: 0]
STANDBY 1 [cha: y, def: 1, sav: 1]
ICT 0 [cha: n, def: 0, sav: 0]
SCT 9000 [cha: y, def:9000, sav:9000]
# when the drive was idled I got the following error message.
$ sudo sdparm --clear STANDBY -6 /dev/sde
/dev/sde: Seagate FreeAgent Pro 400A
change_mode_page: failed setting page: Power condition
# this appears to force the drive to start
$ sudo sdparm --command=start /dev/sde
# and now this command works
$ sudo sdparm --clear STANDBY -6 /dev/sde
$ sudo sdparm -a /dev/sde
/dev/sde: Seagate FreeAgent Pro 400A
Power condition mode page:
IDLE 0 [cha: n, def: 0, sav: 0]
STANDBY 0 [cha: n, def: 1, sav: 0]
ICT 0 [cha: n, def: 0, sav: 0]
SCT 0 [cha: n, def:9000, sav: 0]
Of course, if you don't have sdparm, use:
sudo apt-get install sdparm
Then copy output of
>cat /proc/mounts
entry to /etc/fstab
my entry is:
/dev/sdc1 /media/disk vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,fmask=0077,dmask=0077,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,usefree,utf8 0 0
Reboot. Everything auto mounts fine now.

Question: How do I start using BitTorrents?
Answer: BitTorrent “swarming” requires six major ingredients.
- BitTorrent client software (there are dozens of choices, all free to install. See next page for software suggestions.).
- A tracker server (hundreds of them exist on the Web, no cost to use).
- A .torrent text file that points to the movie/song/file you want to download.
- A Torrent search engine that helps you find these .torrent text files. (See next page for Torrent search links.)
- A specially-configured Internet connection with port 6881 opened on the server/router to allow Torrent file trading.
- A working understanding of file management on your PC/Macintosh. You will need to navigate hundreds of folders and filenames to make file sharing work for you.
