It#s that I like the silence to read... Are you trying to make the disk sleep that you run FreeBSD on? If yes, it will most likely be cron, checking the crontab files. It does that every minute. Setting the hard disk to sleep is the wrong approach in your case. I'd rather suspend-to-ram the computer, by running 'acpiconf -s3'. The whole computer will then sleep until you touch the keyboard/move mouse. In most cases, suspend does not require any configuration, but sometimes it needs some BIOS or sysctl changes (and it does not work at all if you have Nvidia graphics).
