Err, I just now found the time to test it... and now I do wonder whether I have to set some hdparm timeout manually (I assume I have to ...).. Any reasonable values ? For the moment I would allow for hdsleeping for 1hr ... so I am doing hdparm -S60 /dev/hda (-S0 respectively) also in the laptop-mode.sh script as it makes no sense for me to have the hd beeing powered down elsewhen... Soeren.
