[Lincs] Hdparm commands

[Chris Adams]

Does anyone have a script for auto spinning down drives using hdparm ?

I need ro run a nfs server, which inturn connects to my http server mounted
over nfs.

I cant install the disks directly onto the server because it is a laptop
under my bedand there IDE drives. I use a laptop because its quiet and
efficent.

The disks arent going to be accessed that often (1 hour a week or so). So i
was wondering if it was possible to turn them off because there so noisy.

So my question is. If I mount an lvm drive over nfs can I turn those disks
off when there not used, without it being unmounted. I cant use cron,
because i dont know when i need it. I was thinking i could use an cgi script
but it would be a little long winded.

Thanks
