| Unfortunately, it's driving me crazy, because KDE 3.2 insists on
| writing out ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals and korgacrc every five
| minutes or less, which keeps the disk spun up no matter what else I
| do. (I'm also running noflushd, though that's unlikely to help me
| much because I'm also using ext3fs---noflushd's manpage remarks that
| ext3 writes out its journals directly, hence bypassing noflushd's
| efforts.)
I've successfully tryed kernel 2.6.6's "laptop mode". It delays disk writes,
and has to be set up together with low time hd spindown & growing hd read
ahead...
