I finally got my SATADOM from memorydepot.com (it took over a month), and I set up .system on it so I could spin down the HDD array. I went into FreeNAS GUI and set spindown to 5 and APM to 1. I waited about ten minutes and checked the drives' statuses with camcontrol ... still spinning. I waited some more. Still spinning. Opened the console and used ataidle -S 5 on all the drives. They all spun down and stayed that way over night.
Any idea what would stop the GUI from working where ataidle works? Is a reboot required after setting HDD Spindown?
