Do you know if I can check the hdparm setting somewhere? Like hdparm -C
to show me the spindown setting?
It depends on the drive - there is hdparm -I /dev/<device> that offers a
capability and a command feature section. From the looks at my output
(where hdparm -S <int> works alright) there is this option:
* Power Management feature set
Maybe this is mandatory for hdparm to work with your hardware, I'm not sure.
And do I have to restart the system or is it enough the do a /etc/init.d/
hdparm restart?
Nope, hdparm -S <value> /dev/<drive> should have immediate effect, but
it could be different for the conf file in /etc - I hope somebody else
can help you there, since I never used that file, but wrote a
shellscript to set hdparm -S <int> upon boot.
When I turn logging on, I only get lots of messages from the system drive
and not from any other. So it should work?
At least that's a good sign for drive access, another way to check it is
to unmount the data drive(s) completely, then set sleep time to a
minimum with hdparm -S <int> <drive> , then wait while monitoring syslog :-)
