I've noticed the reason why my drive doesn't power
down into standby like it does with Redhat is because of the update demon called
by etc/init.d/single which flushes the buffers every 5 seconds and seems to
access the drive every 30 secs. Is there any alternative to running
update, or is there a problem with not running it, other than the greater
likelihood of a corrupted filesystem in the event of a crash? Is there any
way to flush only when the buffers have been used? Right now I have
it set to flush every 30 mins.
