Also, does OpenSUSE 11.1 spin down the 1.5Tb data hard drives when they are not in use? Or can it be easily configured to do so?
It's easily configured with hdparm. I've got a backup-system with 2x1Tb in RAID1 which is only spun up for a maybe four hours every morning between 2 and 6. Experiment a bit with your hardware - my array is showing some instability when spinning up the drives, and I think I'll have to return/replace one or both.
So, it is possible to do for RAID-arrays also? Didn't know that.
Well, you don't do it for the array, you do it for the individual drives. On my backup system, I have both drives set to a standby timeout of 10minutes.
My 9.2 didn't do that when I tried to enable it from YaST AFAIK.
I don't know if it can be done from YaST.
What kind of instability are you experiencing? Is it connected to RAID or other HW?
At least one of the drives has problems waking up from standby. I have not yet investigated in any detail. /Per -- /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
