Issue with hard drive and power management

Hi!

I am experiencing what seems to be power management issue.
If I unplug the power cable, the HDD falls into endless cycle of spinning up and down (I can hear the sound of it)

dmesg confirms, spamming repeatedly

[ 1599.721077] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Starting disk
[ 1605.007258] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Synchronizing SCSI cache
[ 1605.007698] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Stopping disk

Rebooting or shutting down freezes the machine.


also from dmesg, dunno if it is related:

and it seems to stop after:

[ 1691.065451] usb 3-9: device descriptor read/64, error -110

but also not sure it its related

$uname -a 
Linux m3800alex 5.14.10-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu, 07 Oct 2021 20:00:23 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Any advice?

Many thanks.

Re: Issue with hard drive and power management

Hello.

Thank you for the link to BBs help page. I was looking for formatting guide, but didn't find.
I have edited the post as suggested.

Installing hdparm seems to have improved the behavior, testing.

Thank you, ewaller
