hdparm -t /dev/hda &> ~/results.hdp
Then, change the settings:
hdparm -c1 -d1 /dev/hda
Then, run the test again:
hdparm -t /dev/hda &> ~/results2.hdp
Then, simply compare the results files (~/*.hdp). Be careful, but have fun! :)
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?
