Hi,
I am looking for help on how to stop/disable the HDD spin down option
I should add that the laptop has a fresh(yesterday) install of SL7.4.
"hdparm" was not present on the system, so I installed it from SL repo.
Now I am unsure as to the safest way to use it for the task.
In the past spindown is disabled by default.
This should probably get you going:
