This is a minor issue and probably coming from upstream, though I didn't
test for that.
hd-idle man page suggests that device names should be refered to without
the leading /dev/ in the name, which holds true for option -t, but not
for -a.
To test if hd-idle would successfuly spindown my disks I first tried to
run it with -t disk/by-id/ata-... which worked, when I added similar
option with -a to /etc/default/hd-idle it did not work, but it does if I
use -a /dev/disk/by-id/ata-...
If I add /dev/ to -t option it complains that device
/dev//dev/disk/by-id/ata-... does not exist.
By the way, I'm also using option -l /var/log/hd-idle.log, but no log is
being written to that file. The file isn't even created.
Some logs appear in /var/log/syslog, but only about the daemon
starting/stopping. There was no error/warning about non-existing devices
with option -a as it happens with -t if the device is invalid.
This is a minor issue, probably upstream, but made me waste some time
trying to figure out why -a in the conf file wasn't working as supposed
(and no clue in the logs regarding that). So I thought I'd report this
in case someone else bumps into the same issue.
Best regards,
Bruno Gravato
