>Depending on if your delays between seeks are enough time for the drive to >spin down or not are a big factor. (spin down/spin up/seek/read is nasty) How much work would it take to tweak the CDROM driver to wait 5-15 minutes (or, perhaps add an option somewhere, to make it dynamically configurable) before spinning down? I think that would solve some of the problem. Of course, you'd probably need cooling if you're going to have a 32x at full spin all the time. --- Marius Bendiksen, IT-Trainee, ScanCall AS To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
