SOLVED Disk apparently not spinning down

[oxyde]

Hi all!
Need some help, for sure i miss-config something (hardware detail in signature).
I have installed this spindown timer script, the expected result for me is to let the disk in my StoragePool spindown when not used (and they will be like this 95% of time).

I followed the 2 initial step (configured disk standby settings and System dataset placement as mentioned), then i add a post init script as below

/mnt/StoragePool/Script/SpinDownTimer/spindown_timer.sh -t 3600 -p 600 -m -i ada1 -i ada2

but, after like 1 and half our i try this command on shell (found on very old thread):

camcontrol cmd ada$ -a "E5 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00" -r -

and the disk result spinning (the 10° position is FF).
Same result using this command:

camcontrol epc ada$ -c status -P

the result is idle(0xff).

The script is placed in the StoragePool, special permission assigned.

What i'm doing wrong? Thanks in advice

Did you also make the script executable (that chmod +x thing)?

then i add a post init script as below

And my guess is that you are missing a "." in front of your path towards the script
./mnt/StoragePool/Script/SpinDownTimer/spindown_timer.sh -t 3600 -p 600 -m -i ada1 -i ada2

Tahnks for the tip!

Yes, done!

./mnt/StoragePool/Script/SpinDownTimer/spindown_timer.sh -t 3600 -p 600 -m -i ada1 -i ada2

mmm... i try to launch that code via shell adding the dot but i get error *no such file or directory*, not sure to have done it properly (sorry, not so familiar with shell)

So am I ;)

I got some useful hints over here

Maybe there is something in it that points into the right direction.

don't seems the dot is the problem :(
Forget to say: launching the command via shell, he get stuck like this:

nothing happen

...hm, so at least the script/command seems to be running. When you haven't defined any other tasks that might access the drives then I'm out of ideas - and knowledge...

I think have made 1 single but fatal error, due to a momentary layout change (im wating component to restore a SSD pool for jail/script)... the script itself is in the same Pool of drives i want to spin-down...
I will retry soon the new SSD arrive.
Thanks a lot for the tips!

Edit: work as intended putting the script on another pool... really a mistake on my part!
