Hi, I recently put a box to run as a mail gateway, so it has to run all day long. Unfortunately, I'm not able to let the hard disk go to sleep (or maybe It does, but I don't notice).
What I tried is issuing 'hdparm -S <whatever> /dev/hda' and getting read of some syslog entries but it doesn't seem to work well. The drive goes to sleep (spins down) when forced with -Y, but restarts about ten seconds later. What am I missing ? Thanks for any suggestions, Simon -- Simon Vallet Institut National Agronomique de Paris-Grignon [EMAIL PROTECTED]
