I have a server, running FBSD 5.4, that has six SCSI disks in it. It's primarily a fileserver for IT, and it's not access frequently, but it does get some use. Most of the time--any time it's been sitting for a while and not accessed recently--reading from the drive takes a few seconds. I presume this is because the drive has spun down due to it's idleness and the delay is because the drive is spinning up again when I access it. Is there a way to disable this? The drives are IBM Deskstar drives (DPSS-318350M), and I don't know if this feature is a feature in the SCSI subsystem somewhere on FBSD or a jumper setting on the drive or what. I'm not even sure I can turn it off so the drives don't spin down.
Any ideas, anyone? Thanks! _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
