Bug#539310: ITP: spindown -- daemon that can spindown idle disks

[TOMASZ GRABOWSKI <cadence@rogers.com>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

Spindown is a daemon that can spindown idle disks
and so saving energy and giving the disks a longer lifetime. It works
by checking how many blocks are read and written from the disks. When
no blocks are read or written the disk is idle. When a disk stays idle
long enough spindown uses sg_start to spin the disk down. It also works
with usb disks and hotswappable disks because it doesn't watch the
device name (hda, sdb, ...), but the device id. This means that it
doesn't matter if the disk is swapped while the deamon is running.
