Notice that simply by watching the log you may cause a periodic write
operation: every read means a write of the access time. That's why it is
important to dissable it.
For instance "tail -f file" causes continuous writes, but "tailf file"
does not. This is documented somewhere.

Still, letting the disks go to sleep is a good thing, IMO. This "should"
work.
