Title: Hard drives not spinning back up
Post by: mahesh on Oct 07, 2023, 07:38 AM
Hi,
I have installed current ubuntu and have setup a Plex server.
I also used hdparm to have my hard drive spin down after being idle for a few minutes.
hdparm -S 48 /dev/sdb

This works great. the drive spins down after the set time.

if i access the drive locally it spins back up and i can view my media.
I can also play media from other devices when the drive is spinning.

Unfortunately if the drive spins down and i try to access media from another device, the drive doesn't spin back up !


Wake on Lan is set but im assuming thats for waking the OS (which isnt asleep anyway)


Any ideas
