  • How did you address this issue? Did you remove smartd altogether? I've been having a similar problem with my ZFS pool that consists of three WD gold drives. While two drives go on standby after some period of inactivity, the third one never does. I've been search for a solution for months now and couldn't find anything besides manually setting the drive to standby w/ hdparm. Commented Jun 12, 2020 at 18:51

    I disabled smartd. But you should probably be able to configure the test intervals. Commented Jun 14, 2020 at 20:46
