hd-idle not spinning down my Seagate HDD (USB)

Hi,

I have installed hd-idle.

The config file is set as so -

Code:/etc/default/hd-idle

START_HD_IDLE=true
HD_IDLE_OPTS="-i 60 -a /plexmedia/media3 -l /Home/Downloads/hd-idle.log"The 60 seconds is just a test. But it's not spinning down my Barracuda Seagate 3TB HDD.

The log does not write a file either.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Lee
