To find out more exactly I suggest you monitor > r/w access in syslog: I have setup hddtemp to do nothing automatically (set interval to 0 and don't start as daemon).

Thanks alot!! Btw: As you didn't write anything else hdparm should have no problem spinning down sata drives? And do I have to restart the system or is it enough the do a /etc/init.d/ hdparm restart? Do you know if I can check the hdparm setting somewhere? Like hdparm -C to show me the spindown setting? Cheers -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
