Sorry, I posted this in the wrong thread! It was meant for your question in the "prevent hard drives from spinning down" thread.
Nice hint, thanks! It looks like the ataidle port expired on 2018-12-31; it was obsoleted by camcontrol.

This seems to work:

# camcontrol devlist
Code:
<WDC WD5000LPLX-08ZNTT0 04.01A04>  at scbus0 target 0 lun 0 (ada0,pass0)
<WDC WD5000LPLX-22ZNTT0 01.01A01>  at scbus1 target 0 lun 0 (ada1,pass1)
<SanDisk Cruzer Fit 1.00>          at scbus2 target 0 lun 0 (pass2,da0)
# camcontrol apm 0:0:0 -l 250
# camcontrol apm 1:0:0 -l 250

In FreeBSD, what is a good way to run these commands every time the system starts?
