<div>And thats all that is needed. So when i call /var/www/media, it will load the nfs mount and spin up all that discs without the web page script timing out ? Also is there gonna be a massive lag, too much considering the lag of the lan over nfs and the internet ?</div>

Set the standby (spindown) timeout for the drive. This value is used by<br>the drive to determine how long to wait (with no disk activity) before<br>turning off the spindle motor to save power. Under such circumstances, the<br>
drive may take as long as 30 seconds to respond to a subsequent disk<br>access, though most drives are much quicker. The encoding of the timeout<br>value is somewhat peculiar. A value of zero means "timeouts are disabled":<br>
the device will not automatically enter standby mode. Values from 1 to 240<br>specify multiples of 5 seconds, yielding timeouts from 5 seconds to 20<br>minutes. Values from 241 to 251 specify from 1 to 11 units of 30 minutes,<br>
yielding timeouts from 30 minutes to 5.5 hours. A value of 252 signifies a<br>timeout of 21 minutes. A value of 253 sets a vendor-defined timeout period<br>between 8 and 12 hours, and the value 254 is reserved. 255 is interpreted<br>
as 21 minutes plus 15 seconds. Note that some older drives may have very<br>different interpretations of these values.<br>--------------------------------------------------------<br><br>Perhaps put an hdparm -s in your startup scripts (rc.local or init.d,<br>
