chris, I think you external drive itself is either in standby or sleep mode as
per man hdparm:
"...standby (low power mode, drive has spun down), or sleeping (lowest power
mode, drive is completely shut down)."
which wouldn't be an issue if it resumed from it's standby/sleep faster.
Hence, for now a WORKAROUND of preventing the drive going into
standby/sleep would be best, while a quicker resume potential is
investigated.
In order to confirm this, first, when the drive seems to be idle, execute the
following and post to this report:
sudo hdparm -C /dev/sdXY
where X is the letter of your drive (may be a or b) and Y is the number of your
drive (may likely be 0, 1, or 2). Then, execute the following in a terminal and
post the results to make use of APM to prevent the drive from going into a low
power state:
sudo hdparm -B 255 /dev/sdXY
** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Incomplete
