You can test with this little app, if it says 'head > parked' it works. If not, it has just idled the drive. Great! Thanks for digging this up - it works on my T42, using a Fujitsu MHT2080AH drive: lenz@metis:~/work/ibm_hdaps> sudo ./headpark /dev/hda head parked Judging from the sound the drive makes, this is the same operation that the windows tool performs. However, the head does not remain parked for a very long time, especially if there is a lot of disk activity going on (I tested it by running a "find /" in parallel). The head parks, but leaves the park position immediately afterwards again. I guess now we need to find a way to "nail" the head into the parking position for some time - otherwise it may already be on its way back to the platter before the laptop hits the ground... Thanks again - this is another helpful bit in getting all the pieces together.
