SuSE users,
I guess the simplest way of accomplishing what I want is to do 'hdparm -S 90 /dev/hdb' but it would be nice not having to do it manually at every boot. Is it possible to specify a kind of cron job that takes care of it? Or can I edit some hard drive parameters somewhere and add 'hdparm -S 90 /dev/hdb' to them?
Thank you for any ideas, directions or help.
If you're still unable to get the other solutions to work, you could put the hdparm command and options into an /etc/init.d script that normally gets run at bootup. RH has/had a file called rc.local that was run after everything else had occurred. I had thought SuSE had the same, but can't find it. -- Mitch Thompson, San Antonio TX // WB5UZG Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) http://home.satx.rr.com/mlthompson Independent Amsoil Dealer http://amsdealer.webhop.biz wget -O - http://home.satx.rr.com/mlthompson/pubkey.gpg | gpg --import -- ohnosecond: The amount of time between pressing the "ENTER" key and realizing you should not have.
