Drive spin up/down status in Command line

[eatoff]

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm looking for a way to determine drive status from the command line so that i can use it in a script.

 

using hdparm -C /dev/sd? I get that all drives are in standby mode, when they are actually spun up and running (Mover is currently running and 2 out of 3 disks are active. How else could i determine the status in the command line?

It look like controller issue cause SMART not actually reading at all , array disks have same serial no., pls state what controller use and connection type.

Its in an extrenal 4 bay enclosure. I know its not recommended to use external, but that was my only option at the time.

 

How can i get the spin up status another way?

All other SMART data does read, here is my output:

I use external USB enclosure in pass (longtime ago), if all enclosure disk spindown then fine, but once any disk spinup, spinup/down status won't work anymore.

Btw, it work well in terms of storage functionality.
