[Bug 117713] Re: WD external drives need to be spun down, "sdparm --command=stop" doesn't work any more
I think this bug needs to be split into two, one that focusses on the usability issue to have some eject mechanism to properly spin down external drives, and one that focusses on the udev/sdparm no longer work issue. ** Summary changed: - not proper dismounting for WD passport harddrive (making noise when unplug) + WD external drives need to be spun down, "sdparm --command=stop" doesn't work any more -- WD external drives need to be spun down, "sdparm --command=stop" doesn't work any more https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117713 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 117713] Re: not proper dismounting for WD passport harddrive (making noise when unplug)
SHORT VERSION: udev daemon to be blamed?! __ LONG VERSION: @Akos Ladanyi: very true, sorry, I forgot to test "init 1" prior to blaming the kernel. Works for me too in single user mode. BTW: I see no errors related to issuing the SCSI stop command in the logs, nor when using the commands' --verbose options, neither when it works nor when it doesn't. Tried with sdparm, scsi-spin (always gives timeout after 8 sec and resets SCSI card since the disc takes 12 sec to spin up) and sg_start. They all issue the same 1b command... So I rebooted and after loggin in (at runlevel 2) I manually stopped all services (except sshd) and issued "sdparm -C stop /dev/sdb" again: works fine! (I always test standby using the command "smartctl --all --nocheck standby --device=3ware,3 /dev/twa0") Now I started udev daemon "/etc/init.d/udev start", and that alone spun up the disc! (Can anyone confirm this?) And: "sdparm -C stop /dev/sdb" and "smartctl --all --nocheck standby --device=3ware,3 /dev/twa0" don't work any more. So It looks like a problem with udev!? In /var/log/messages I get "udev: deprecated sysfs layout; update the kernel or disable CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED; some udev features will not work correctly" after starting it. From /usr/share/doc/udev/changelog.Debian.gz I see that there have been major changes including SCSI issues when intruducing new upstream in Version 140. ___ But strangely if I - switch off computer - wait :-) - switch it on again (boots to runlevel 2 w/o GUI) - log in as root - "sdparm -C stop /dev/sdb" results in the bug described earlier - issue "init 1" - press Ctrl-D (without entering single user mode) to resume normal operation - log in as root again - "sdparm -C stop /dev/sdb" now works as expected, too! Although udev is up and running. ? The only odd thin I noticed is that 4 lines before the single user root password prompt appears, there was an error "outside expected code flow". -- not proper dismounting for WD passport harddrive (making noise when unplug) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117713 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@Akos Ladanyi This bug is not specific to (WD external drives|external drives|Ubuntu) - I have the same effect with vanilla debian sid with an internal Hitachi SATA drive.

[Bug 359513] Re: hard disk will not spin down with kernel 2.6.29-11
I have the same effect with my backup disc on my server since my last reboot. It's with 2.6.26-2-amd64 kernel of current debian sid. The Hitachi SATA disc in question is connected as a single device unit via 3ware 9650SE-4LPML. My scripts always worked properly (using sdparm -C stop) but now when I issue the SCSI STOP command, I see the drive status on my SATA backplane going on error for approx. 1 sec. After that I hear the drive spinning up again (which was just about to *start* its spindown, so it resarts while approx. still 85% spinning speed). The curious thing ist that reverting to my previous kernel (scripts worked with, I log the drive status using "smartctl --nocheck standby") did not help either. So I'm stuck. Neither sdparm nor smartctl packages were updated even since the kernel version before the now old one. Using scsi-spin or sg_start doesn't help either. -- hard disk will not spin down with kernel 2.6.29-11 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/359513 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
