Charles, LEAF list members, Archive readers,
FYI, Charles is 'da man!
If anyone wants to spin down a SCSI drive with the new version of
EigerStein2 [ver 2.2.19] (at least a Seagate drive on an Adaptec 2940 AU
adapter), version 1.8.3 of noflushd is what you want. Previous versions
didn't support SCSI disks (from the release notes) and versions after
were compiled with libc5 support, which seems to seg dump all over the
place.
So, I can put it to sleep after I get everything loaded. WOOHOO! Now
all I have to do is configure the box, set the write prevent jumper, and
I'm off to the races. The advantages of a HD, with the security of a
mechanical write-prevent.
Does it get any better? [if not, shoot me now]
Thanks for the help
Tony
