Probably, I haven't touched the power saving settings since I
installed linux so if there's a setting set to have the drive sleep or
suspend after some time by default then that is probably what's
causing it, what does hdparm returned error 5 mean though? Googling it
doesn't seem to turn up its meaning but it does seem to show that
others too are getting it in their system logs...
