Hello,
I have a laptop Acer Aspire One D250 running 9-CURRENT and it seems that
after ~12 secs the disk is spinning down and is coming up again if an
action, like a command to start, requires this; I have checked with
atacontrol(8) but as far as I can see spin down is disabled:
# atacontrol list
ATA channel 0:
Master: no device present
Slave: no device present
ATA channel 1:
Master: no device present
Slave: no device present
ATA channel 2:
Master: ad4 <WDC WD2500BEVT-22ZCT0/11.01A11> SATA revision 2.x
Slave: no device present
ATA channel 3:
Master: no device present
Slave: no device present
# atacontrol spindown ad4
ad4: idle spin down disabled
As well the BIOS has no visible option for this. I want to disable this,
what could I do?
Thanks
matthias
