Hello,
I can spin down my External USB HDD with "sudo hdparm -y /dev/sda1", but after seconds it spin up again.
How can i find out why ist spin up all the time?
I allready stop kodi and also try to disable SMART (http://forum.osmc.tv/showthread.php?tid=13486) but didn't help.
On the raspian i have installed: kodi, seafile, tvheadend, retropie.
my external usb hdd is formated with exfat (for easy copy movies and photo from windows laptop) and mounted on boot.
I can see a mount.exfat in iotop before it spin up, but i think this is only the second step the "spin up command" not the initializing application
Greetings
Thomas

Re: USB HDD spin up after seconds
Reformat the drive as ext4 and it should work better. It'll be faster and it will spin down when not in use.
