Hi,
I have a RAID5 setup with 3 250GB SATA disks. Often the RAID is not
accessed for days, so I wonder if I can extend the life of the disks
by spinning them down, eg by setting the spindown timeout for the
drives with hdparm -S nn.
The hdparm man page says "[after spindown] the drive may take as long
as 30 seconds to respond to a subsequent disk access". Could that
cause a timeout when accessing the disks, resulting in one or more
disks being marked bad?
Thanks
Gerd
