btw, i had already disabled idle spindown with hdparm -S 0 idle3-tools just updates the firmware settings so that it's disabled by default (as should be the recommend setting for WD Green drives on any linux system).. I had experimented with spindown over summer (didn't want my drives to overheat) but found that ZFS didn't like it. at all. kept getting drives being booted from the zpool seemingly at random, so ended up disabling it. of much less importance, I also found that hddtemp woke the drives up anyway, whenever it queried the temperature. [...] echo disabling disk idle spindown for disk in $DEVICES ; do /sbin/hdparm -q -S 0 "/dev/$disk" done [...]
It's a Debian package since yesterday evening.
