Re: drives spin 100% of the time, idle down?



Hi,

another option is hd-idle package available via backports for stable and oldstable.

Hello List,

I have two drives (setup in a RAID 1 array).

The drives are mostly for archive purposes, and accessible via SMB on my
local network.

They are not constantly accessed, and performance/speed is irrelevant.

I would rather they idle/sleep when not being directly accessed. I know
they are supposed to spin, and spinning them up and down is not good for
them. But, in my particular use case, it seems acceptable.

Am I off base?

Can anyone recommend a way to do this in debian? Is there a program that
will allow me to set this?
