: Warning: It is possible (but unlikely) to change SCSI disk settings
: such that the disk stops operating or is slowed down. Use with care.
i.e.
/usr/bin/diskungfu:
#!/bin/sh
# Disk stop - spin down
grep -w sdc /proc/diskstats >dstat.1st
sleep 60
grep -w sdc /proc/diskstats >dstat.2nd
if cmp dstat.1st dstat.2nd >/dev/null 2>&1
then
echo Stopping disk, spinning down…
sdparm -f -r -q -v -C stop /dev/sdc
exit 0
else
echo Disk busy.
exit 1
fi

Change the parameters as needed,
set-up a cron job,
and there you go. ;)
