warning or error?

  1. I put my drive into standby (either waiting or with hdparm -y /dev/sdc)

  2. If I set the standy time to e.g. 12,5 min (hdparm -S 150 /dev/sdc) during it is already in standby, then /var/log/messages gives me:

These sounds like an error, however my drive works normally.
Can someone explain me the system messages?
