When the pow= er is turned off, it sounds like the disks aren't spun down (but I may be mis= taken on that point). http://linux-ata.org/shutdown.html claims that kernels newer than 2.6.2= 1 will always spin down the disks, but is this really the case? The manage_start_stop files exist. Tell me if you'd like more detailed information about configuration and hardware. Robert =C3=96stling
