chris, as per man hdparm:
sudo hdparm -C /dev/sdb1:
/dev/sdb1:
drive state is: unknown
means the drive doesn't support querying it's current IDE power status
so that's fine..
when you ran the command:
sudo hdparm -B 255 /dev/sdb1
does the HDD still go into a sleep state? If so, would the follow provide a
WORKAROUND (please post the terminal results to this report):
sudo hdparm -B 254 /dev/sdb1
** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Incomplete
