This thread encouraged me to do this on my laptop, but something is still causing it to not work. - I set noatime for all my ext3 partitions and this shows when doing the "mount" command. the pertinent devices: /dev/hda6 on / type ext3 (rw,noatime,errors-remount-ro) /dev/hda4 on /usr type ext3 (rw,noatime) /dev/hda7 on /home type ext3 (rw,noatime) - I set the "-m 0" for sysklogd and this shows in the process view 190 /sbin/sysklogd -m 0 - when i run noflushd -d -t 1 /dev/hda it spins down after 1 minute, but 30 seconds later it spins back up. How can I find out what is causing this? thanks, jc -- Jeff Coppock Systems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
