--bp/iNruPH9dso1Pn Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable hi :) when using ext3, i can't get my hard disks to go to standby mode any more. i am using timeouts set by hdparm with 2.4.18 kernels. even when i issue a standby command manually, the disk spins up again after a few seconds. however, (to my knowledge) no user space program accessed this disk at that time. i suspect ext3's journal to be causing the disk accesses. is that possible? sorry if this has already been discussed... --=20 CU, / Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen, Germany Martin Waitz // [Tali on IRCnet] [tali.home.pages.de] _________ ______________/// - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - /// dies ist eine manuell generierte mail, sie beinhaltet // tippfehler und ist auch ohne grossbuchstaben gueltig. / - Wer bereit ist, grundlegende Freiheiten aufzugeben, um sich=20 kurzfristige Sicherheit zu verschaffen, der hat weder Freiheit=20 noch Sicherheit verdient.
