(Get the code!)
I was experimenting with hdparm , and i found that there is a sleep mode
and a standby mode- which parks the read heads.So I issued the sleep
command in idle , and after a while , the temperature of the HDD went
down from 51 to 49 degrees.So I was wondering , may be that , whatever
is issuing the commands to the hard disk has these two modes mixed up.So
if it were possible to put the hard disk to sleep instead of standby , I
think most of our problems will be solved.
