The drives are RAID-1 but you can ignore that. To spin it up I do: SLOT1=/dev/disk/by-id/wwn-0x50014ee058f952e1 # Usually /dev/sdd SLOT2=/dev/disk/by-id/wwn-0x50014ee212458648 # Usually /dev/sde spunup() { # At least one is spun up, so RAID should work if sudo hdparm -C $SLOT1 $SLOT2 |grep -q active/idle ; then return 0 else return 1 fi } spinup() { sudo hdparm $SLOT1 $SLOT2 >> /dev/null 2>&1 for t in 1 2 ; do # Make sure it's up spunup && return sleep 5 done } poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
