Tutorial[ Seagate Disks ]: Optimize Life Span/Power Managment

[Neo2018]

You need to configure the steps, for each Seagate Disk..

Your disks are named sda and sdd.
You need to do all steps for each of the Seagate disks you have..

my hard drive ----> is sda1 (new one: Seagate IronWolf 8TB)

Code:

p@p-ubuntu:~$ lsblk NAME   MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT loop0    7:0    0  34,6M  1 loop /snap/gtk-common-themes/818 loop1    7:1    0   2,3M  1 loop /snap/gnome-calculator/260 loop2    7:2    0    13M  1 loop /snap/gnome-characters/139 loop3    7:3    0 140,7M  1 loop /snap/gnome-3-26-1604/74 loop4    7:4    0  14,5M  1 loop /snap/gnome-logs/45 loop5    7:5    0   3,7M  1 loop /snap/gnome-system-monitor/57 loop6    7:6    0    91M  1 loop /snap/core/6350 sda      8:0    0   7,3T  0 disk └─sda1   8:1    0   7,3T  0 part /media/p/Daten3 sdb      8:16   0 489,1G  0 disk └─sdb1   8:17   0   489G  0 part sdc      8:32   0 465,8G  0 disk ├─sdc1   8:33   0   499M  0 part ├─sdc2   8:34   0   100M  0 part /boot/efi ├─sdc3   8:35   0    16M  0 part ├─sdc4   8:36   0 254,2G  0 part ├─sdc5   8:37   0 173,6G  0 part └─sdc6   8:38   0  37,3G  0 part / sr0     11:0    1  1024M  0 rom

next step i want ---> 2). Set Low Current SpinUP --- with this command ----> ./openSeaChest_Configure --device /dev/sda1 --lowCurrentSpinup enable   ----> output  ---->

Code:

OK.
Now I will reboot. after rebooting, control Low Current Spinup is enabled, with this command ------> ./openSeaChest_Basics --deviceInfo --device /dev/sda1 --- output ------------>

IT IS NOT ACTIVATED -----------> Low Current Spinup: Disabled
why, where is the mistake?

How do I set the settings to 127 with 1 hour spitdown?

Code:

root@p-ubuntu:~/openSeaChest/Make/gcc/openseachest_exes# for blockid in {a..d};do smartctl --attributes /dev/sd${blockid}|grep -E "^ 12|^193"; done 12 Power_Cycle_Count       0x0032   100   100   000    Old_age   Always       -       3110 12 Power_Cycle_Count       0x0032   094   094   000    Old_age   Always       -       5471

Code:

root@p-ubuntu:~/openSeaChest/Make/gcc/openseachest_exes# ./openSeaChest_PowerControl --device /dev/sda1 --setAPMLevel 127 ========================================================================================== openSeaChest_PowerControl - openSeaChest drive utilities - NVMe Enabled Copyright (c) 2014-2018 Seagate Technology LLC and/or its Affiliates, All Rights Reserved openSeaChest_PowerControl Version: 1.10.0-1_19_0 X86_64 Build Date: Jun 13 2019 Today: Fri Jun 14 12:49:32 2019 ========================================================================================== /dev/sg0 - 3.0 -            BCDEF - ATA Setting APM Level is not supported on this device.

why, where is the mistake?

Query the disk, you configured, to see S.M.A.R.T APM level set in 'seagate.service' above, is with the right value:

Code:

/root/openSeaChest/Make/gcc/openseachest_exes/openSeaChest_PowerControl --showAPMLevel --device /dev/sdd

It should now report APM 127  

Code:

root@p-ubuntu:~/openSeaChest/Make/gcc/openseachest_exes# ./openSeaChest_PowerControl --showAPMLevel --device /dev/sda1 ========================================================================================== openSeaChest_PowerControl - openSeaChest drive utilities - NVMe Enabled Copyright (c) 2014-2018 Seagate Technology LLC and/or its Affiliates, All Rights Reserved openSeaChest_PowerControl Version: 1.10.0-1_19_0 X86_64 Build Date: Jun 13 2019 Today: Fri Jun 14 12:58:28 2019 ========================================================================================== /dev/sg0 - 3.0 -            BCDEF - ATA Showing APM Level is not supported on this device.

I did it the way you suggested  ------> Tutorial[ Seagate Disks ]: Install Seagate OpenSeaChest Utilities
I have extra ubuntu installed - ubuntu + windows 10 dual boot

The fastest way is getting the disk out, and put it in your 3.5" adapter, in a Desktop or laptop,
Check if driver was builtin:

then install OpenSeaChest tools there:
And configure what you want, remove the disk and put it in the rockpro64 Again..

This is the easiest way of tunning your disk,
until you kernel compiles modules for SCSI Driver..

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm desperate again
Please explain this to me please (for dumheads like me)
