Incorrect drive power state reading?

[tjurcak]

I am following the help guide and testing the script, but I am noticing that drive power state is always "1", even when the drive is in standby. Attaching example where the state shows '1' immediately after the drive was placed to standby mode. When checking hdparm -C directly, I see its correctly reporting drive state as 'standby'.

Script verbose output:

Manual hdparm output:

This then results in standby command issued for a disk that is in standby already. I've tried multiple approaches - disk/pool mode, as well as manual/automatic drive detection (-i / -m), but same behavior across all.

I can also replicate this issue. Power state always returns 1. I am on the latest version of TNS.

For me using -x hdparm solved the problem.
