hdparm parameters aren't sticky' so are lost at hard and soft resets. So to always force HDD into standby... pacman -S cron pacman -S hdparm Use 'crontab -e' to edit the cron config file You will need to be familiar with Unix 'vi' or 'nano' to edit the file - it's a bit quirky Add the line @reboot /usr/bin/hdparm -B127 -S240 /dev/sda1 OR Edit the file directly... /var/spool/cron/root You may need to create the file 'root' it first and past in the following... # Edit with "crontab" for proper functionality, "man 5 crontab" for formatting # # mm hh DD MM W /path/progam [--option]... ( W = weekday: 0-6 [Sun=0] ) # @reboot /usr/bin/hdparm -B127 -S240 /dev/sda1 Then reboot Wandboard. -B127 sets APM to allow HDD TO go into standby -S249 sets timeout of 20 minutes /dev/sda1 is the hard drive Use 'man hdparm' and 'man cron' for details of usage. Be careful if you change the numeric parameters - they aren't all as obvious as it may seem. Hope that helps.
