Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi all, I've got a 2.2.7 system here and I'd like to be able to manualy send the drives into a power saving mode, or something similiar. Is this possible? The system board and bios are both capable of doing this, but I'm not sure how to invoke it from FreeBSD. For those who are curious, the system has 2 western digital drives and lives in my bedroom, not much happens at night and I'd like to effectively stop the drives at night. Damn things are LOUD.
