As of 2013, Martin's package is no more in the "PPA" cited in message #38.
I tried to install libatasmart4 from packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/libatasmart4, but it doesn't fix the problem for me.

I'm on Debian 6.0, which doesn't have the updated package in repos (not in "unstable" repo, apparently).
Where can I get the package, preferably the individual "raw" .deb file so to not cause repo conflicts?

Bug description:
  Hi.

  I'm trying to make a hard disk drive that's only used for backups stay
  in standby but there is something that is spinning the drive up every
  30 minutes (exactly) or whenever I login to Gnome.

  The drive stays awake for a few seconds and then gets spun down again (even though I set hdparm -S 12 (1 minute)).
  I can hear this perfectly because it's a pretty noisy drive: Maxtor 6L300R0

  Further more, every time the drive is spun up I get the following
  messages in dmesg:

  [189046.000060] ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 frozen
  [189046.000075] ata1.00: cmd b0/d1:01:00:4f:c2/00:00:00:00:00/00 tag 0 pio 512 in

  [190846.625904] ata1: EH complete

  As you can see, this shows two occurrences of the problem, and they're ~ 1800 seconds (30 minutes) apart: 190844.988581-189046.000060 = 1798.988521
  I thought it could be smartd but I disabled smartd and the problem persists.

  System details:
  Ubuntu karmic (development branch) 9.10 fully updated today.
