           Summary: wine wakes up sleeping HDDs
           Product: Wine
           Version: 10.14
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux

Hello everyone,

I have a couple of auxiliary HDDs in my machine that are in standby mode most
of the time (hdparm -y /dev/sd{b,c}). Those HDDs contain file systems that
aren't mounted automatically.
The system runs mostly silently using an SSD.

When I start wine or winecfg, it somehow immediately touches those HDDs so they
wake up and start spinning loudly for no purpose.

Why does it happen? Is there a way to prevent this behavior?

Thanks!
