hdparm won't put HDD to sleep state, but standby instead #442

Hi, sudo hdparm -Y /dev/sda should put HDD to the lowest power consumption sleep mode, causing it to shut down completely. Reboot should be required to wake it up again, however the command put it only in standby state as indicated by sudo hdparm -C /dev/sda. This behaviour is incorrect and would be correct for different command sudo hdparm -y /dev/sda.

According to 1 (actually 2 and 3) this bug should have been fixed in hdparm 9.15-1, but I am using 9.39-1+b1. This issue should be easy to confirm or prove it false.
