Edit : check /var/log/*.
- Found another who run every hour and writes log: anacron (see /etc/cron.d/0hourly). Disable it.
- If you allow ssh connections from the Internet. Each connection attempt causes a log in /var/log/auth.log To avoid this, I use a nonstandard port between 49152 and 65535 for sshd.
Can you provide more detailed instructions on how to do the above? I'm not really good at Linux.
Thanks!

- /etc/cron.hourly/0anacron is set in /etc/cron.d/0hourly to run every hour. Change
01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
to
#01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
- For ssh connections from the Internet: internet --> router --> GoFlex Home.
In the configuration interface of the router, change the ssh port to 50000.
ssh -p 50000 login_name @ ip_routeur

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('bz31', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('ldi9999', 'Y')es I did. Otherwise the drive would not be spin down. Like a said, there is no problem on spin down drive as scheduled. Just the drive spins up by itself after a few seconds.
I think I found the solution (boot with the sata driver).
archlinux uses syslog-ng. It writes a line "-- MARK --" in /var/log/ every 20 minutes.
To disable it, add an option
mark_freq (0)
in /etc/syslog-ng.conf (and restart the daemon syslog-ng).

I did all above, but my harddrive still spin up right after spinning down. I even stopped the syslog-ng daemon.
