Hello, all

I'd like to have the drives of my LVM-system (SuSE 8.0) to spin down=20
when the volume is not used (it's a data-volume only, the system=20
resides somewhere else). The volume consists of one partition of hda=20
and drives hdb and hdc are completely dedicated to it.

I tried to set a spindown-time in BIOS as well as hdparm -S, but=20
strangely only hdc powers down (checked that with hdparm -C). I don't=20
really expect hda to power down as the system resides on it, but hdb=20
obviously should. Does anyone have an idea why it doesn't?=20
--=20
cheers,

Michael
