Hi
I use camcontrol(8) to set a standby timeout for my HDD to spindown after a certain time of inactivity. However, when I run the command to set the timeout the hard drive spins down immediately. Based on the source it doesn't look like this should be happening. Does anyone know why it is?
Prior to this I was using ata(4) and atacontrol(8)'s spindown feature which didn't spin the drive down immediately. I've since switched to ahci(4) for the performance gains.
