I sleep near a 4-disk-box, and it would be nice if i could spin down the disks at night...:-) At the times of 2.0.xy, i also played around with the "scsi-idle"-package and it worked quite well...but i noticed one effect: Since i used it the first time, one of my disks spinned down randomly....it stayed then still for about 10secs and started again...it had no effect on the system (not even a logentry), but it costed me a CD-R one time, and so i stopped using "scsi-idle". I dont know if this was disk-dependant (the disk died some weeks ago after working for about 3 years, it could have been defect), but it started after the first use of "scsi-idle"... But i would be glad to test a new version of "scsi-idle", if you write one...:-) Solong.. Frank. -- Frank Schneider, . Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO. ... -.-
