A while back I posted information about some diffs I had produced for allowing my disk drive (wd) on my laptop to automatically spin down after some minutes of no I/O. A few people asked about the diffs and I sent them to those people. Since then I noticed that many times the drive would spin up about every 5 minutes or so. I found this was cron running /usr/libexec/atrun, so I created a memory filesystem containing just this program. That seems to keep the drive down almost all of the time! Just letting those know who care. /raj To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
