hi there, i have a usb external disk that spins down grotesquely soon, 10s of inactivity sends it sleeping. hearing the disk spin up every time makes me think how soon it will die if i keep this up for long.
as atactl is not working for external ata disks used through the scsi layer, i was wondering if anyone has an idea of how to keep the disk spinning in a way that read and write performance doesn't suffer too much. -f -- tower: "say position." pilot: "position."
