M8 USB HDD spindown problem after upgrade from M7

[mackowiakp]

I just move from M7 to M8. Fresh installation, root partition formatted.
I have USB v3 HDD connected for offline backup. It contain only one etx4 partition. Normally external HDD partition is unmounted. Mounted only during backup and then unmounted again.
So it is impossible to set spindown time for such connected HDD now. It worked correctly in M7.
There is an output command and lsusb:

Code: Select all

[root@Piotr Pobrane]# hdparm -S 60 /dev/sdc1

/dev/sdc1:
 setting standby to 60 (5 minutes)
SG_IO: bad/missing sense data, sb[]:  70 00 05 00 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 00 24 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

# Part of lsusb
Bus 006 Device 002: ID 0bc2:3322 Seagate RSS LLC SRD0NF2 [Expansion Desktop Drive]

How can I spindown HDD after desired period of time in M8?

Why do you try to issue ATA commands against a partition, and not against the device itself ?

It's also pretty easy to configure settings for such a drive, see e.g. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Udisks#Apply_ATA_settings_(udisks2)

I try both. The result is the same.

According to Your advice i create udisks conf file:

Code: Select all

[root@Piotr ~]# udevadm info --query=all --name=sdc | grep ID_SERIAL | sed "s/_/-/g"
E: ID-SERIAL=Seagate-Expansion-Desk-NA8F8593-0:0
E: ID-SERIAL-SHORT=NA8F8593

[root@Piotr ~]# cd /etc/udisks2/
[root@Piotr udisks2]# cat Seagate-Expansion-Desk-NA8F8593-0\:0.conf
[ATA]
StandbyTimeout=60

Still can not spin down HDD after 5 min timeout

Is this the same drive as in your previous thread? viewtopic.php?f=7&t=13209
You want want to recheck if that workaround still applies and is still in place or if it needs to be revised.

Not the same, bigger one, USBv3.1, the same vendor id, different product id. But I forgot totally about this issue. It still exists, although much newer HDD.
Yep, works. THX !!
