Hi,
I have read a lot of forum posts but none solved my issue. I have a WD Red plus 4TB HDD that I would like to spindown after 60min or so.
To see where my problem is located I ran the following commands and this is there output.
"sudo hdparm -B /dev/sda"
/dev/sda:
APM_level = not supported"sudo cat /etc/hdparm.conf"

</hdparm>I noticed that in the /etc/hdparm.conf file none of the active drives are listed, only old drives that are not connected anymore.
However the new drives are listed in the omv-showkey command, as well as the old drives.
I assume the old drives shouldn't be in the hdparm.conf or in the omv-showkey output and that this is my problem.
Active drive device files, these are the last 2 in the output of the omv-showkey command.

/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD40EFPX-68C6CN0_WD-WX62DA3C11FAAny idea how I can get this solved?
Thus this mean that before disconnecting a drive (because it is failing or getting replaced) it is necessary to disable all these settings before disconnecting?
I did notice the same thing with the smart monitoring, I first needed to disable this before disconnecting or omv would get mad at me because it could find the drive to monitor. Which is logical of course.
I am thinking to use hd-idle, looks promising. But I think getting these weird differences solved can't hurt.
Thanks in advance for ideas!!
