Mar 26 06:26:03 server kernel: hdd: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
Mar 26 06:26:03 server kernel: ide1: reset: success
this is a hard drive i reaped from a legacy windo~1 system; there
were some parameters used in w98 (or w95?) to have the drive
automaticall spin down to power-save mode, and this seems to be
the result. i'm sure linux can handle those kinds of features,
but apparently my setup isn't sleep-mode aware...
is there some advanced hdparm i can throw in there to make the
kernel (or some daemon) know to look for sleep mode? if not
hdparm, maybe something else?

It is always hazardous to ask "Why?" in science, but it is often
interesting to do so just the same.
