Hi All & Juergen,

Hello everybody. I was having fun with hdparms. Tried some options like
-d1 -X34. worked nice with the CDROM, but froze the system on hda and
hdc (my disk drives).
Digging into "man hdparm" shows that this man page is worth reading. Has
anybody experiances with the spin down / power saving options? Is there
something clearer to read than a manpage?

I use the following command in boot.local

<snip
hdparm -d1c3X34s 60 /dev/hda

hdparm -d1c3X34s 60 /dev/hdc
<snip>

But do not use it on my cdrom'z.

This is the app'z home page.....

& I found the "The Linux Ultra-DMA Mini-Howto" most useful also.

Good luck, let us know how you go & *BFN*
