Since it's a WDC disk I guess it's one of the "green" ones. These have a short default timeout after which they park the heads. I think you'd need to run the wdidle3.exe application to disable the internal timer, but it may just be a default APM setting that can be changed from within FreeBSD using sysutils/ataidle and the -P switch. -- Bruce Cran _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
