I don't know why it uses the hard disk, but if it is only reading those files and there is enough memory that they are cached in the kernel file cache, then perhaps the atime is being updated and that is causing the disk to spin up? Are you mounting with the noatime option? Maybe there's another http proxy that doesn't require any disk access? I am interested in following this thread. I would like to set up a similar computer, with as few fans and spinning drives (zero would be ideal) as possible while staying inexpensive and low-power. -- Jacob Trying out SquirrelMail -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
