Reg. spin up and down of a laptop hard disk

[Kumar Appaiah <a.kumar@alumni.iitm.ac.in>]

Dear Debian users,

I am using Debian on a laptop, and was wondering what an ideal value
for spin up/down for the drive would be. Right now, I have not touched
the defaults, but I want to know what the right setting would be to
ensure a decent life for the hard disk.

Thanks.

Kumar
