>> # allow the disks to spindown after 5 minutes of idle
/sbin/hdparm -S 60 /dev/hda
/sbin/hdparm -S 60 /dev/hdb
/sbin/hdparm -S 60 /dev/hdd
I have SATA drives, so I can't do
this. But thanks for the tip!
? are you sure, I have S-ATA and doing a hdparm -S <some number> /dev/sda
gives me a definite click as the drive spins down and starts up again (I
haven't mounted the partitions noatime yet).
I'd say it's worth giving it a try.
Simple enough. Go to a shell and try
/sbin/hdparm -y <your drive device here>
That will put your drive in powersave mode immediately (if possible) then
/sbin/hdparm -C <your drive device here>
and it will show you the current status like mine shows
# /sbin/hdparm -C /dev/hdd
/dev/hdd:
drive state is: standby
