USB HDD spin down

[zilexa]

@trader007 what brand and type of harddrive do you have?

I got a weird message. Samsung 500GB 3.5" in an AC Ryan esata/usb case.
Later this wk I'll try udisk glue or if I can get it to work hd-idle.

Code:

xbian@xbian ~ $ sudo hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda

/dev/sda:
setting standby to 60 (5 minutes)
SG_IO: bad/missing sense data, sb[]:  70 00 05 00 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

edit: actually I always get this error. Even if I just check the state:

Code:

xbian@xbian ~ $ sudo hdparm -C /dev/sda

/dev/sda:
SG_IO: bad/missing sense data, sb[]:  70 00 05 00 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
drive state is:  standby
