All, I generally don't bother with suspend, just setting the screen-saver to blank and letting dpms power the display off, leaving the rest idling. That way I can ssh back into the box if I need something. However, I was testing suspend (pm-utils from the logout menu option), and ran into a strange quirk. After waking from suspend, the hard drives seems to be left in a low-power mode. I can hear it spin-up every few seconds and then it will idle down again. Pre-suspend, the disk is in the normal always-on mode (with hdparm -B = 96). I don't know what config would make it wake in a different mode, but I can hear the drive spin up regularly after waking. Is there somewhere in /etc/pm... or /etc/sysconfig where wake drive power state is configured. -- David C.
