Doesn't really help. It logs the hd activity, but still there is _some_ 
process running, which forces every 60 seconds the HD to spin up:

Aug 31 11:44:36 localhost noflushd[3549]: Spinning down /dev/hda.
Aug 31 11:45:13 localhost noflushd[3549]: Spinning up /dev/hda after 0 minutes.
Aug 31 11:46:13 localhost noflushd[3549]: Spinning down /dev/hda.
Aug 31 11:46:14 localhost noflushd[3549]: Spinning up /dev/hda after 0 minutes.
Aug 31 11:47:14 localhost noflushd[3549]: Spinning down /dev/hda.
Aug 31 11:48:13 localhost noflushd[3549]: Spinning up /dev/hda after 0 minutes.
Aug 31 11:49:43 localhost noflushd[3549]: Spinning down /dev/hda.
Aug 31 11:50:13 localhost noflushd[3549]: Spinning up /dev/hda after 0 minutes.
Aug 31 11:51:13 localhost noflushd[3549]: Spinning down /dev/hda.

At the moment this happens every 13sec after the full minute, i.e. 
11:45:13, 11:46:14, 11:48:13, 11:50:13...

Just wondering, which process is bringing up the HD all the time and how 
to stop it.
