November 16, 20169 yr Hi I would like to use the linux tool hd-idle as hdparm does not work well with western digital 'green' HDDs I found it here http://hd-idle.sourceforge.net/ but I am not sure how to build it and make it work in Slackware. Can anyone help? thank you!
November 16, 20169 yr unRAID doesn't include the tools needed to compile programs from source so you would need to install on another computer or as a VM the same version of Slackware with all the tools (make, gcc, various header files, etc.) in place. A lot of people use or have used WD Green disks in unRAID servers without problems. What exactly are you trying to achieve?

The drive does not go to sleep at the same time as my seagate even though i use hdparm -S5 for both. I read that green drives are prone to this.
November 16, 20169 yr Are these disks that you're talking about outside of the unRAID array? Array disks are spun up and down by the system and don't need hdparm -S to sleep them.
