 Posted: Fri Apr 11, 2025 9:49 am Post subject: Avoid periodical HDD wake up? |
 |
|
Hi,
installed a new setup with SSD and a bit rotating HDD for backups (purchased as used). I'm on OpenRC. Currently the HDD is not partitioned, not formatted, not mounted, showing up as: | Code: | # fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 16,37 TiB, 18000207937536 bytes, 35156656128 sectors
Disk model: TOSHIBA MG09ACA1
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: C911E84A-937C-42C1-82E1-FA0A828EF0A0 |
I planned to have it most of the time sleeping with spin-down, only starting for daily or weekly backups.
But it is continuously waking up with spin up and then going to sleep again every few minutes, syslog shows this:

How can I find the culprit? I already disabled potential services like smartd doing periodical self-tests. Also stopped hd-idle.
AFAIK I don't have any panel widgets doing disk usage or whatever which anyway would apply to mounted filesystems only.
| Code: | hdparm -B /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
APM_level = 128
|
How can I freeze the HDD until I solved that, for not aging the HDD too much until getting solved in some weeks? Most of the StartStop counts are done by me without using it:
| Code: | # smartctl -a /dev/sda |grep _Count
4 Start_Stop_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 485
10 Spin_Retry_Count 0x0033 100 100 030 Pre-fail Always - 0
12 Power_Cycle_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 58
192 Power-Off_Retract_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 18
193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 642
196 Reallocated_Event_Count 0x0033 100 100 010 Pre-fail Always - 0
199 UDMA_CRC_Error_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 14
223 Load_Retry_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 |
Ok, the other way round, for now I try to get it spinning without spin-down:
| Code: | # hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
setting Advanced Power Management level to disabled
APM_level = off
# hdparm -S 0 /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
setting standby to 0 (off) |
But it still does a spin-down and needs to spin-up for every fdisk -l or something.
| Code: | # smartctl /dev/sda -g aam -g apm -g lookahead -g security -g wcache -g rcache -g dsn
smartctl 7.4 2023-08-01 r5530 [x86_64-linux-6.12.16-gentoo-dist] (local build)

AAM feature is: Unavailable
APM feature is: Disabled
Rd look-ahead is: Enabled
Write cache is: Enabled
DSN feature is: Disabled
ATA Security is: Disabled, frozen [SEC2] |

Checking custom udev rules:

For now I got it temporarily disabled by | Quote: | | echo 0 > /sys/block/sda/device/delete |
