Well, I guess that the subject says it all. My primary rootdisc, /dev/hda, goes on and on. Quite frankly, the noise is getting to me. Is there any way to silence it? Running on a Woody system, XFree 3.3.6, Kernel 2.2.14 I also tried running hdparm -Y /dev/hda : result - the drive spun down, just to jump back up in two seconds... -- ::[ martin högman ]::[ gorkij@swipnet.se ]::
