'smartctl -n standby' wakes up drive

Reported by: Christian Franke Owned by: somebody
Priority: major Milestone: Release 5.39.1
Component: all Version: 5.38
Keywords: linux Cc:

Description

If 'smartctl -n standby' is used on Linux, smartctl properly detects the standby mode and exits, but the drive spins up then.

If 'hdparm -C' is used instead, the drive does not spin up.

The same behaviour under FreeBSD 9.2 and FreeBSD 9.3-PRERELEASE with smartctl 6.2.

This Linux-specific issue was fixed 4 years ago in 5.39.1.

Please do not reopen a Linux-specific ticket to report a FreeBSD-specific problem. Create a new ticket instead.
