I have a 500GB Seagate external USB hard drive. When it is not plugged in,
sudo systemctl suspend
suspends the system. With the drive plugged in, whether mounted or not, I get the message
Device 5:0:0:0 failed to suspend async: error -5
Some devices failed to suspend
dpm_run_callback():scsi_bus_suspend+0x0/0x30 [scsi_mod] returns -5
Here is my /etc/fstab line:
LABEL=ExpansionDrive /media/ExpansionDrive ntfs-3g uid=1000,gid=users,auto,nofail,relatime, remove_hiberfile 0 0
I have experimented with many fstab options to no avail, I doubt the problem is here.
I use this laptop as a server and have it perform automatic backups, so it's not feasible to manually unplug the drive every time I want it to suspend. What can be done to allow the system to suspend with the drive plugged in?

I don't know that this has anything to do with it, but your fstab entry is really really f*cked up.

Would you care to expand? I'm just trying to automount the NTFS drive with user permissions. It seems to work with ldm.

The options line is.... crazy. First I thought it was a trailing comma, then I scrolled over and it is just a super no bueno gigantic space.

I had the same problem suspending today, "scsi_bus_suspend+0x0/0x30 [scsi_mod] returns -5" and another line implicating my external HD. I've been using my external HD for years without problems, this is the first time I've seen this. I updated by -Syyu a week or two ago.
The weird thing is, my external HD was not even plugged in. I had accidentally unplugged it without unmounting (and I hadn't written anything to it), and the system still thought it was mounted. I then unmounted it, but I still couldn't suspend. A device file was still present in /dev and /sys/block. After trying a few other things that didn't work related to removing those I "solved" it by rebooting, and I can suspend again.
The HD is not in my fstab, it was automounted by gnome to a directory in /run/media.
