I have connected up an WD30EZRX WD Green HDD to a Thermaltake Blacx Duet 5G USB dock in Ubuntu 12.04. Every thing seems fine except when the HDD idles it seems to have error
ls: reading directory .: Input/output error
after a while and is only fixed by unmounting and remounting the drive as root. I have the following line in /etc/fstab
UUID=AAF670E9F670B6E3 /media/3TB ntfs defaults,user,auto 0 0
I have noticed that it seems to go between /dev/sdc2 and /dev/sdd2 devices on remount.
I did copy 1TB last night without issue in 1 sitting. But after x mins of idle it has remount issue.
Any tips/suggestions on how to proceed would be appreciated. Spent most of the night googling and all its done is made me sad.
Edit (tried as suggested):
root@mediaserver:/media/3TB# sudo hdparm -B 255 -S 253 /dev/sdd2
/dev/sdd2:
setting Advanced Power Management level to disabled
HDIO_DRIVE_CMD failed: Input/output error
setting standby to 253 (vendor-specific)
APM_level = not supported
Seems as if that didn't help with this particular drive.
