With this setting i cant get my HDD to spindown.
Also i cant get my hdd to spin down with this command:

Code: Select all

ataidle -I 5 /dev/ada0
If i deactivate smart it spindown with the ataidle command but it wont spindown with the gui settings...
deactivate smart:

Code: Select all

smartctl -s off /dev/ada0
if i change the Advanced Power Management the changes will be commited but the changes for Smart not (in the pic deactivated but disk informations says activated)... :

Code: Select all

nas4free: ~ # ataidle /dev/ada0
Model:                  TOSHIBA MD04ACA400
Serial:                 15G4K8NUFSAA

Capacity:               3726GB
SMART Supported:        yes
SMART Enabled:          yes

Write Cache Enabled:    yes
APM Supported:          yes
APM Enabled:            yes
APM Value:              1
AAM Supported:          no
If smart is deactivated and i do a restart smart is activated again...
I cant get it... this is totally strange....

My solution would be a script which will be executed by startup with these commands:

Code: Select all

smartctl -s off /dev/ada0
ataidle -I 5 /dev/ada0
But it would be nice if i could configure that through the gui (Smart would be nice to but it's not necessary)
Hope someone can help me :D
