[Lincs] Hdparm commands

[Chris Adams]

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 ?

Thanks
