It would be awesome if hdpram, hd-idle or some other HDD spin down settings could be added to the LibreELEC configuration GUI. I’ve tried downloading the System Tools add-on, but I can’t make it work.I have a Seagate expansion ext4 formatted hard drive.I’ve tried change the APM level:
Raspberry Pi model 3
LibreELEC 7.0.1
Kodi 16.1
/dev/sda2 is a partition on the drive so /dev/sda would be the node for the drive, but you don't show us the failure response of the command so that's just a guess at the problem.

This have worked before, it would spin down after a few min. But it wouldn't be persistent, everytime the device rebooted, I would have to do it all over again. Now nothing happens.
The only changes I've made is that I've formatted the external hard drive from exFAT to ext4 and switch from OpenELEC to LibreELEC 7.0.1, which shouldn't matter... I think...
