I have a Lacie d2 250G external hard drive which won't spin down anymore.
Normally, it would spin down after some time of disuse. Now it spins down, then spins back up right away, even if not used.

The problem started right after testing the Ubuntu linux Live-eval cd. I accessed the drive from ubuntu, but didn't edit anything. Then when booting OS X as normal, the problems started.

Do you think just opening linux could mess up the settings on the drive?
Anyone experienced anything similar or know of a fix?
