I have a setup with a few SAS drives for home NAS running on an intel server with openmediavault. ( Debian 7 ish).
But I cant for the life of me get them to spin down. I would like it for power saving. At least half of the day.
I guess one of the issues is that hdparm doesnt want to talk to my disks at all. But i found some other tools that could force them to spin down. But that led to io errors on zfs and the pool was lost until next reboot. Was probably possible to get it back somehow.
So the question is, do you let your disks spindown? And if so, how? =)
