No, this "Problem" is not solved. The whole idea of a journaled fs is that it is constantly write the previous disk actions to a journal, to be "played back" if necessary. You will find that all journaled file systems will keep your disks spinning, and the only way to my knowledge to stop this is to use apm to turn off your hd after 5 minutes of inactivity. --Alex On Thu, 2002-06-20 at 02:50, Karl E.
