Hi all,
I issued the following command in crontab. However, the light of my hard
drive on every 1 to 2 seconds. It seems doesn't work. So, how can I spin
down the hard drive every 3 minutes?
man hdparm
hdparm -S36 ...
3 minutes = 180 seconds = 36, 5 second intervals
Yes, but after ALL activity is done. I suspect the dirty cache flush
is preventing the spindown.
