I just run hdparm -I with the HDD directly in my Proxmox environment (Debian). There were no errors, the powerstate has been shown properly and hdparm -I shows the full feature set of the HDD.
So, I guess this is not a kernel issue, but a passthrough issue(?) by Proxomox. I will now investigate this further. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2092222 Title: ata: libata-scsi: Honor the D_SENSE bit for CK_COND=1 and no error Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Hi, I’m running Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS (GNU/Linux 6.8.0-51-generic x86_64) as a guest system in Proxmox VE 8.3.2. I have connected a WD SATA-HDD via passthrough directly to the Ubuntu guest system. It is mountable and works flawlessly. However, I want it to spin down to “standby” state if it is not in use. So, I ran the “hdparm” command to check the current power mode status. The status of the SATA-HDD had been “idle” or “active” at this point: root@xyz:~# hdparm -C /dev/sdb /dev/sdb: SG_IO: bad/missing sense data, sb: 70 00 05 00 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 drive state is: standby As you can see, “hdparm” threw an error and returned the wrong power mode state “standby”. I doublechecked by touching the SATA-HDD. It was spinning and the head was moving. After, I did some googling and found a post in the Majaro (sorry!) forum exactly matching this issue: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/ata-libata-scsi-sense-data-errors-breaking-hdparm-with-wd-drives/166634/10 The post also points out the solution - a kernel fix as part of the linux6.10.6-1 point release: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/libata/linux.git/commit/?id=fa0db8e5 Now my request - Could you please add this fix also to one of the next point releases of Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS’s “Linux 6.8.0-5x” kernel? I would really like to avoid introducing a “custom” kernel into my 100%-standard Ubuntu LTS system. Thanks in advance!
