I know of two things that could be causing your problem. First, are you running a journaling file system? If so, don't expect your hard drive to be spun down. I think searching the archives will reveal some specifics. Second, are you using a 2.6 series kernel? I seem to recall that noflushd had to have some changes to work with 2.6 kernels, and since you don't say what version you're on, I can't rule this out. Even when this was the case, though, noflushd did print out an error message when it was started. Does it print out an error message when you start it by hand? Does it appear in ps or top?
