I have a couple of SCSI HDs QUANTUM ATLAS_V__9_WLS 0230, IBM DORS-32160W WA0A as well as scanner, CDROM, CDRW on a AHA 2940UWPro PC (non-Linux)
the system runs 24x7, and, I can't fault it, it runs my voice server, fax server, etc, etc I'm on the keyboard between 2 and 5 day/week so, I can not fault it, BUT, on at leats 2 or 3 ocasiosns whilst I'm here, suddenly, I can hear one of the SCSI drives spin down, then, within maybe 10 or 15 seconds, the drive spins up again this is assesed by the brief (lack of) noise (actually, it quite pleasant when the noise briefly goes down) has anyone witnessed that sort of wind down/up thing....? the 1st time it happened, i though, '<expl. deleted> my drive just died' BUT, when I walked to it, the noise restarted, and, I couldn't fault it. any ideas what is it ??? it just happened few minutes ago, hence, this post Voytek Eymont -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
