Hey guys,

I'm a happy camper with Debian Etch here on my old laptop. Thanks to all the
developers and the users for the great work!

Right now, I have an old laptop with a noisy harddrive. I have installed
laptop-mode tools and set my hard drive spin down to around 20 seconds. Here is
the sequence of action

 1. Open a small text file in vim.
 2. After 20 seconds, hd spins down.
 3. Make a few changes in the text file (not saving it yet) -> hd spins up.

I am not using X or anything. This is simply straight from the command line
without any X.

I have tried setting the noatime option but it doesn't seem to help in the above
case. Is it something to do with vim? Maybe some autosaving feature? What about
logs?

Thanks,
Amit
