I have some older GP drives which do not seem to ever park their heads. The newer GP drives I have behave as you described. I have had success either turning off the head parking or greatly reducing it by doing 'hdparm -S 0 -B 254 '. Either '-B 254' or -B 255' depending on the drive. I use these drives in a home file server, though, so I/O to/from the drives is either non-existant most of the time (heads stay parked) or there is continuous I/O (rdiff backups, etc.; heads stay unparked). -akm From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Mar 26 19:11:52 2010 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E1144106566B for ; Fri, 26 Mar 2010 19:11:52 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from michiel@boland.org) Received: from smtp-vbr15.xs4all.nl (smtp-vbr15.xs4all.nl [194.109.24.35]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7D0DE8FC0A for ; Fri, 26 Mar 2010 19:11:52 +0000 (UTC) Received: from charlemagne.boland.org (91-43-215.ftth.xms.internl.net [82.215.43.91]) (authenticated bits=0) by smtp-vbr15.xs4all.nl (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id o2QJBRpf088720 (version=TLSv1/SSLv3 cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA bits=256 verify=NO); Fri, 26 Mar 2010 20:11:29 +0100 (CET) (envelope-from michiel@boland.org) Message-ID: <4BAD06DF.8080604@boland.org> Date: Fri, 26 Mar 2010 20:11:27 +0100 From: Michiel Boland User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.24 (X11/20100323) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: "Aravind K.

In this case I'm out of luck: # ataidle -P 254 /dev/ad4 ataidle: the device does not support advanced power management Cheers Michiel
