Disks spinning down and read errors - Ubuntu

Hi. I've got a couple Iron Wolf drives. Set them up with mergerfs.

 

The drives are immediately showing "zzz" in the "disks" utility after files have been transferred.

I have tried turning on the standby feature in "drive settings".

I have also run... 

sudo hdparm -I /dev/sdc | grep level

 ...and get no output.

So I run... 

sudo hdparm -S 120 /dev/sdc

and get... 

/dev/sdc:
 setting standby to 120 (10 minutes)

But nothing. I still see the drive in the "disks" utility with "zzz" immediately after copying a file over to the drives.

I checked the SMART data of the drives and both show a lot of errors...

Contacted Seagate for support but they told me they couldn't help because i am using Linux.

 

Both drives connected to the SATA 2.0 ports on my X9DRi-LN4F

 

Any help is appreciated,

Chris

 

You guys are crazy. You know you guys are self-destructive. There's a funny farm somewhere and it's got your names written all over it. But I'm gettin' outta here.
