SYSLOG Errors should i be worried?


Recommended Posts

I recently added a new SAS 6tb parity drive that refuses to spin down unless i manually use sg_start --stop command on it.  I am also getting a ton of these errors in syslog.  I am working on a script to spin down the drive but cannot figure out a way to determine its inactive.

 

Here is the errors are they just confirming HDPARM cannot spin down the drive?
