[RESOLVED] auto turn off hard drive

[ldi9999]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('moonman', 'c')ron will execute the command I rpovided every 15 minutes so the hdd will spin down. It will spin up when you want to access it automatically.

Nothing else is required. You can make it 5 min or 30 min as well by swapping 15 to 5 or 30

That is exactly why. You probably have swap on there as well...

I have not tried this as I have OS installed on 2.5" drive with 3.5" spinning down ever 15 min, but this was suggested in this thread earlier. You would need to "pacman -Sy laptop-mode-tools" and then read here to configure: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/La ... Hard_disks (also see the configuration section, it explains how to start daemon @ boot: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/La ... figuration)

If you have swap enabled, that's one. Otherwise, the use of `lsof` will tell you what is open, and I believe by whom.
