Failure of brand new drive... possibly due to staggered spinup?
Hi,
I have similar problem with two Western Digital WD3200KD SATA drives and "power up in standby" propety set. I've attached disks to the Highpoint RocketRAID 2320 and in the card setup utility turnded the Staggered Spinup On. While inicialized by the card, they spin up and detect correctly by the card bios, but in system (WinSrv2k3, Ubuntu) are not visible. Disabling Staggered spinup in card's bios utility makes no effect and I found no other way to disable it. I've tryed Mark Lord's bootable CD and made few tests: (disks were now attached to Silicon Image 3114 controller) Test 1: - start PC, Mark's CD spins up disks, reset PC, boot to Windows - disk were detected correctly and work fine Test 2: - start PC, Mark's CD spins up disks, reset PC, boot to Ubuntu 2.6.20.16 - disk were detected correctly and work fine but hdparm -s0 doesn't work (probably because of missing patch in kernel): hdparm -s0 /dev/sdb /dev/sdb: spin-up: setting power-up in standby to 0 (off) HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(powerup_in_standby) failed: Input/output error Test 3: - start PC, boot to Ubuntu 2.6.22.rc4 - disks are spinned up by kernel but not identified (no /dev/sdx) so I can't even try hdparm Now I don't understand it at all ... Last chance was "findpart feature" from dos but only primary/secondary master/slave IDE can be addressed. So no chance for SATA (?). Anyone have an idea what else should I try to disable the power up in standby? I've been testing it last four days with no success. Thanx Ales Dvorak |

Failure of brand new drive... possibly due to staggered spinup?
Exact same problem:
4xWD3200KS drives gone using staggered spinup on the Highpoint 2320. The disks work as long as they are connected to the 2320 controller and using the controller drivers in XP. But FreeNAS doesn't recognize them anymore. I can make them spin up on my mainboards controller using the linux disk, but it fails to disable the feature. I have filed a question with WD support, hoping they can help me. I think it should be solvable by software or maybe a firmware reset/ update of some kind. |
