Thanks a lot for a pointer, but...
When I try to shut down my 100MB DOS drive using "hdparm -S1 /dev/hda"
I get the following:
/dev/hda:
setting standby to 1 (5 seconds)
HDIO_DRIVE_CMD failed: I/O error
"hdparm -t /dev/hda" is not expiring either:
/dev/hda:
Timing buffered disk reads: read() failed: Unknown error
The only working command on this drive is "hdparm -T /dev/hda":
/dev/hda:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 32 MB in 66.34 seconds = 0.48 MB/sec
This is pretty old (though IDE) drive - Conner CP3104 and might not
be able to support all the modern EIDE drives commands.
Does anyone know any other way to spin this thing down?????
Thank you.
