Hi all,

Is there a possibility to spin down a SCSI harddisk? hdparm -Y does not
work on SCSI disks. I tried noflushd - but its the same. It says, one
would have to use a kernel patch to enable spin down. BTW: How
"unstable" is this patch?

So - are there any special tools? (to keep the harddisk quiet :-).

Background: small Debian/woody Router for home LAN. I know I have to
tune a few other things (bdflushd, syslog, ...), too, if there is a tool
to spin down the harddisk.

Thanks,
~ Joachim
