Hi! Cool! I'll try the var/log-thingy then. So far I made it spin down for some seconds and then spin up when the script is checking if the disk is spun down.. =)
When I was trying out sg_start to spin down my disk I got a similar fault with ls and other commands if I set pc=5. Maybe trying another number (man sg_start) could make it work better for you. mån 2007-04-23 klockan 21:02 +0100 skrev Chris Watts: > Hello > > It isn't impossible to stop the drive you've installed the system on, I've > managed to do it by following the instructions on the NLSU-2 wiki, to move > things like /var/log off the disk and into ram. > > The only problem I've got is that I've seemed to have done it far too well, > sometimes the disk doesn't spin backup and I get error messages like ls not > found.
