Hello all. I'm looking for a solution to this situation. I have a FBSD box with several KDE HD's that is only intermittently accessed over the network. I'd very much like to have the system sync and spin down the disks after a timeout period, and have them resume only when accessed. In Linux this is set by the 'hdparm' utility, however I've found no such equivalent in FreeBSD by searching the Handbook, Complete FreeBSD or web archives, or ports collection. ACPI/APM support possibly? Any recommendations welcome :) /eli To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
