Manually testing hdparm just gives me an error message. Apparently, there is an issue with the kernel version and how it handles "ATA command pass through". As a workaround you can blacklist the device by running this call:
Code: Select all
echo "options usb-storage quirks=0bc2:ab30:u" >> /etc/modprobe.d/usb-storage-quirks.conf
update-initramfs -u
reboot
Code: Select all
hdparm -y /dev/sda
Unfortunately, the automatic spindown still doesn't work. Once I access the drive and it spins up, the drive just keeps on running.
Any idea what I should do here?
