Spindown not working - where do I find hdparm?

Hi I am new to OMV/Raspberry/linux.

I googled alot regarding the spindown not working and came across hdparm. However neither do I find hdparm (sudo hdparm.... results in: command not found) nor hdparm.conf. To be honest I dont really understand the drive/directory structure anyway. I couldnt even find my disks, let alone the sd card with omv or my shares in mc.

Anyways, how would i install hdparm, and why is it not there, as I understood it should be part of omv or is used by omv

Thanks alot

RE: after update 7.024 hdparm stop working from ssh

hdparm has been removed and replaced by an own solution based on smartctl.

Run omv-salt deploy run smartmontools to redeploy everything.

You can set the spindown time in the GUI of OMV for each drive.

I know and I have set a spindown time and apm at 127. It doesnt seem to do anything. Is there way to check if drives are spinning - besides trying to hear them?

its a WD mybook duo with WD reds AFAIK. If I remember correctly, I did set a spindown in the Windows app. But I don't know if that has any effect when it is connected to the Raspi - apparently not

I tested a bit and it does seem to spin down when I turn off smart monitoring.

With smart monitoring on it worked kind of sketchy.
