Two options: Use a timoue time that is long enough (like 15 or 30 mins or even hours) so that the drives don't spin down when they shouldn't. Use the -y switch of the hdparm command: # hdparm -y /dev/hda This will cause /dev/hda to spin down immediately. Remco -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
