Hard disk clicking after upgrade to 9.2.1.7

[Noodle]

Hi Forum,

After I upgrade to 9.2.1.7, I keep hearing hard disk clicking. So I run some test, and find even every "smartctl -a /dev/ada1"will cause "Load_Cycle_Count" increase one. That means hard disk keep load/unload from parking zone.

Anybody seeing same issue with 9.2.1.7? Can I downgrade from 9.2.1.7 to 9.2.1.6?

Thanks

I guess some information on the make, model and (possibly) age of HDs might be a reasonable starting point. Is your server set to sleep when not active?

WD Greens? Use WDIDLE.

No, most are samsung F4, some WD green, but already wdidled.

Turns out it's advanced power management issue. It was 128, now I changed it to disable, the click only happened when HD start spin.

Thanks
