Subject: Re: hdparm -Y hangup
Date: Mon, 23 Sep 2002 16:08:47 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0209231556350.16402-100000@greenie.frogspace.net> (raw)
Not so -- we do so care! I get the same behavior on 2.4.19-ac4.
I ran hdparm -Y /dev/hdd on an IBM 120GB DeskStar. The specs sheet
recommends no more than 8 hours of power-on a day, so I use it as a backup
drive. The machine it's on is never turned off.
Clarification: is it the case that hdparm -Y (sleep) will cool the drive
off better than hdparm -y (suspend)?
I read somewhere that -Y only works on unmounted drives. This appears to
be false. Comments?
Cheers,
Peter
