On the WD Green disks, all the smartctl APM-related commands are NOOPs. You can disable the spindown, or set it to a certain amount, but your drive wouldn't obey that at all. (That was my experience of fiddling with those settings, anyway)
it's hard to tell for sure if/when the drive is lying to you, but setting 'hdparm -S 0' seemed to stop the mp2sas driver and ZFS complaining about drives being non-responsive craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au>
