I'm trying to get fedora to spin down my primary drive when idle, but I can't seem to get it to go into standby mode. When I use hdparm to put it into 'sleep' mode, it does sleep very briefly, waking up after a few seconds. When I use standby mode (either forced or with an -S idle time auto-standby) it doesn't seem to ever enter standby at all. I'm not exactly clear on how the new "laptop mode" works into this, but I have tried it both with and without this mode enabled (including running the laptop-mode.sh script) with no apparent change in behavior. My drive is a serial ATA seagate 7200.7, running on a SATA raid card (not using any raid features) - might this be the source of the problem? Any ideas appreciated kevin@xxxxxxxx
