Hello,
I read all laptop related howtos and I tried to play with /etc/rc.config.d/rc.apmd.conf ( maybe I am wrong, I do not remember the exact name).
I wanted my HD to slow down after a minute of inactivity when running on battery. I changed updated values to do sync and flush every 30 minutes or when buffers are at 70%. But I never got it working unless I switch to runlevel 2 and kill almost every running process :-(
Anyone already manage to setup a toshiba laptop apm to spin down hd when not used???
Any tricks to avoid some programs to use disk so often???
Cheers!
