Is auto spindown configured for the drive?
I don't think so - it's a 3.5" drive with no special PM features - but
how to tell?
Hmm... Can you please post the result of "smartctl --version" and
"smartctl -a > out 2>&1" and dmesg after the smartctl command?

Yep, pasted and attached below. dmesg is 67k, hope list is happy with that.

Thanks for the data. Nothing really stands out tho. It looks like the drive just doesn't like SMART commands 0xda and 0xd1. 0xda being a mandatory non-data command, it failing due to driver problem is unlikely.

Can you please post the result of "hdparm -I /dev/sda" and "lspci -nn"?

Bruce, WDC WD3200AAKS-00VYA0, 12.01B02 is timing out SMART commands 0xda and 0xd1 and the reported data seems all wrong. Does it ring a bell? The original thread can be read from the following URL.

Thanks.
