In your case due to high G-Sense_Error_Rate increasing timeout might be dangerous.So, you own one of these drives?I have a Toshiba L200 HDWK105 SATA 3 500G CMR disk as a secondary storage. I do not like that heads unload timeout is just a few seconds and such state is hidden, so udisks2 wakes it up every 10 minutes to poll for its SMART state. I see a lot of warnings in docs for HDD tools and I am unsure how to stay on the safe margin during experiments.I do not expect anything directly related to the original subject in this thread, but to not hijack this thread, you may ask your questions e.g. in response tohttps://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/?m=tbohk8$60u$1@ciao.gmane.io

We need more information from the OP.I am reminded of an electronics story. A rock musician goes into a music shop and buys an amplifier for his electric guitar. He comes back the next day and complains that the amplifier is defective. The salesman tests the amplifier, and sure enough it does not work. The salesman looks inside the back of the head, and notices that some capacitors are missing. The salesman asks the customer to demonstrate how he was using the amplifier. So, the customer turns on the power switch, turns the volume knob up to 10, and plugs in a guitar...
