Hi everyone. I'm looking a way to spin down HDD just right before power off. Why?
Because currently when I call "shutdown -p now", HDD is powered off at it's full speed (7200.4) and as a result I hear a noise of stopping/spinning down of HDD, and _this_ concerns me as I'm afraid it can damage HDD. So basically I want to spin down hdd/put into sleep mode before system is powered off. I've tried to use rc.shutdown, but the sync of disks "wakes" HDD again... While searching for a solution, I noticed that reboot command/app _does_ spin down hdd right before it resets system power, I can hear how HDD is powered on after that... but halt (which is used by shutdown) doesn't do that... 2nd thing is I cannot find "halt.c" file, i wanted to take a look how it does it... although I'm up to date it's not not in /usr/src/sbin Thank you in advance _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
