The following reply was made to PR kern/133593; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Bruce Cran <bruce@cran.org.uk> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, amdmi3@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: kern/133593: [ata] `atacontrol spindown` won't affect disk until some data is read from it Date: Sat, 11 Apr 2009 08:44:07 +0100 This is documented as the way the spindown command works. From atacontrol(8): spindown Set or report timeout after which the device will be spun down. To arm the timeout the device needs at least one more request after setting the timeout. To disable spindown, set the time- out to zero. No further actions are needed in this case. -- Bruce Cran
