I have a dell8900 and I can't seam to get the drive to spin down on 2.6.0-test9. The drive makes a noticeable whine that can be heard across the room. I'd like the noise to go away, that is more important than saving battery power for me. I'm using noflushd but it has no effect, I also tried hdtune. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
