I would like to use my opensuse 10.2 system on a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum board with a Hitachi SATA 160 GB HDS722516VLSA80 hard disk mostly without the hd running, i.e. I imagine copying the files needed for my daily work at the beginning of a session to a ram disk and then working from there. At the end of such a script the hd will be turned off. But ... I do not know how to accomplish this turning off. So for hints as detailled as possible as to how to turn off the hd in a script I would be very grateful.

Why not invest in a solid state drive? As you are using a ramdrive when running, a solid state drive would be perfect. No sound, almost no heat. -- /Rikard ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- email : rikard.j@rikjoh.com web : http://www.rikjoh.com mob: : +46 (0)763 19 76 25 ------------------------ Public PGP fingerprint ---------------------------- < 15 28 DF 78 67 98 B2 16 1F D3 FD C5 59 D4 B6 78 46 1C EE 56 >
