I made a time change there (2:53 am) and now it waits until I have started using the machine, usually about 5 am. This is apparently due to having APM in place, thus it can't do any maintenance while the machine is in sleep mode.
Is there a workaround for this?
If it is an IDE HDD, then it is possible that there is a BIOS setting which puts the drive into standby/suspend mode. See if your BIOS allows to turn this feature OFF. Just a thought. Also, refer to hdparm. Some netizen from the comp.os.linux.* groups suggested to look into hdparm settings (search dejanews.com). I don't recall the exact details off hand. -- Arun Khan - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
