I've got an array (on kubuntu 14.10) with 5 WD-RED drives and would like
them to stop rotating when there is no access for 10 minutes.
I used hdparm -S 120 for all of them but they keep on running.
I stopped the arrays but this does not help either. The problem might therefor
be unrelated to mdadm. However stopping idle disks on notebooks and desktops
too should be common and I would assume that the general mechanisms are
working. Also for NAS stopping disks should be widely used.
Any ideas why the disks never enter standby or sleep state or how to solve
the problem?
Patrick
PS: I found a hint mentioning SMART tests running in the background could cause
this problem. As far as I understand the output of smartctl, no tests are running
on my disks.
