Has anyone succeeded in spinning down disks under Fedora?
I've done the following and the "hdparm -C" does show the disk spun
down, but the next time I look it is spun up, and it stays up. The disk
is unmounted and I've stopped and disabled smartd, so it isn't accessing
the disks. I don't think anything else is either. I'm probably missing
a trick somewhere, but what???
disk=/dev/sdc
hdparm -S 120 $disk
hdparm -y $disk
hdparm -C $disk
-wolfgang
The value after -S is not seconds, for people who don't use that option.
The drive will stay up a long time when accessed. As the man page says "The
encoding of the timeout value is somewhat peculiar." If it doesn't spin down
after an hour something is wrong.
One thing wrong might be jumpers, Other than that, I suspect something is still
accessing it. udev?
