No I definitely mean't "sdparm", it's available from RPMForge and it's
different from "hdparm".
[stewart@##### ~]$ whatis sdparm
sdparm (8) - access SCSI modes pages; read VPD pages;
send simple SCSI commands
sdparm (rpm) - List or change SCSI disk parameters
[stewart@##### ~]$ whatis hdparm
hdparm (8) - get/set hard disk parameters
hdparm (rpm) - A utility for displaying and/or setting
hard disk parameters.
[stewart@##### ~]$ sudo yum whatprovides "*/sdparm"
...
sdparm-1.03-1.el5.rf.x86_64 : List or change SCSI disk parameters
Matched from:
Filename : /usr/bin/sdparm
...
[stewart@##### ~]$ sudo /usr/bin/sdparm -a /dev/sde
Password:
/dev/sde: Maxtor OneTouch 0125
Power condition mode page:
IDLE 0 [cha: n, def: 0, sav: 0]
STANDBY 0 [cha: y, def: 1, sav: 0]
ICT 0 [cha: n, def: 0, sav: 0]
SCT 4294967286 [cha: y, def:9000, sav:4294967286]
The 'STANDBY' condition is what were interested in.
