I have external HDD connected to Raspberry Pi. I want to set the spindown time to 5 minutes. When I use sudo hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda
it works fine. Of course, I set up APM before to 127 by sudo hdparm -B 127 /dev/sda
. I want this configuration to apply after reboot of Raspberry Pi so I added to /etc/hdaprm.conf the following lines:
/dev/sda { apm = 127 spindown_time = 60 }
After reboot, my disk have APM set to 127 but spindown time is not 5 minutes. When I tried to reach my HDD, it will spin down in 2 or 3 sec. I don't konw how to solve this issue. Can anybody help me and explain why this happened?
