[-- Attachment #1 --] In the spirit of energy conservation, I have a FreeBSD server running 24/7. Unfortunately I can't find anything in the system BIOS to control the harddrive power management features. I have noticed that it is spinning 24/7. I have loaded gnome so I can power down the monitor when not in use. The only remaining repeat offender in the power management catagory is the harddrive. I have cruised the man pages for apm but can't seem to find anything to control the hard drive. Any suggestions? mgruver@carolina.rr.com [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.2614.3500" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In the spirit of energy conservation, I have a FreeBSD server running 24/7.
