Nowaday idle3-tools are availabe per default in Ubuntu, but actually aren't working. Not from the official Ubuntu-repo neither from the normal homepage. I found a working version of wd5746_64, telling me that my harddisks (WD 5 TB Red and WD 8 TB Red) can not be updated. The Intellipark problem seems to be eliminated.

Typical output is: root@ubuntu:~# hd-idle -i 0 -a sda -i 300 -a sdb -i 300 -a sdc -i 300 -a sdd -i 300 -d probing sda: reads: 183794, writes: 242 probing sdb: reads: 163945, writes: 242 probing sdc: reads: 146075, writes: 80 probing sdd: reads: 144003, writes: 80 probing sda: reads: 183794, writes: 242 probing sdb: reads: 163945, writes: 242 probing sdc: reads: 146075, writes: 80 probing sdd: reads: 144003, writes: 80 probing sda: reads: 183794, writes: 242 probing sdb: reads: 163945, writes: 242 probing sdc: rea...

| Oct 6, 2017 at 19:09 | comment | added | Tim Bremer | Yes, it indeed shows r/w-accesses when it is unmounted, so it doesn't look like a journaling issue, but I am running out of ideas what else could be the cause. I also can hear a 'click' sound every ca. 20 seconds, which I can't hear when I am just in the BIOS. smartctl (long test) doesn't show anything special. | |

Does hd-idle still show unexplained read and write accesses when your disk is plugged in but unmounted?

| Oct 6, 2017 at 7:33 | comment | added | Tim Bremer | In fact I am trying to spin down my Western Digital harddisks with the program 'hd-idle', which tells me that there still are some read/write access, just a few Kilobytes per minute. But with atop, iotop, htop, iostat etc. I haven't been able to detect the cause. So I thought about disabling the journal, but quite probably I am going to enable it again after the short test. (root device is a ssd, sda and sdb belong to raid1_a, sdc and sdb to raid1_b and raid_a and raid_b form one volume group). | |
