Code:
--------------------
hdparm -S 240 /dev/sda
--------------------
for a 20-minute spindown time.
The hard part is stopping the drive from being woken by unimportant
housekeeping tasks. In particular, I think I needed to tweak the
settings for 'ksyslogd', to stop it writing 'MARK' to the syslog every
five minutes.
It's not a fun task, but the best way I've found to do it is by
stopping almost every process/service and then starting them one by
one...
