I'm trying to get my MythTV backend server to spindown its HDDs after a given period of time in order to save power and reduce unnecessary heat generation.
My videos are stored on /dev/hdd, and it spins down fine. However, /dev/hdc only contains the /home mount and it never seems to spindown. I have set: /sbin/hdparm -S120 ... on both drives. If I use hdparm from the command-line to spindown /dev/hdc, it works fine, so I know it's not a hardware-issue. Something must be keeping the HDD active, but I don't know what it is, or how to find out. I have already moved all cron jobs/scripts to another mount, not on this drive. I am running Fedora Core 4. 1) Any ideas what is keeping my HDD spinning up? 2) Is there a linux commandline tool I can use to find out what processes have open filehandles? Specifically on /dev/hdc if possible. Thanks _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
