<strong>hdparm</strong>
I asked Sascha Silbe what to use to configure standby-mode for harddisks. He pointed me to hdparm, which has been only known as a tool for enabling/disabling dma until now.
I’ve checked out the following lines for <em>adorno.strojny.net</em>, my homeserver:
hdparm -d1 -c 1 -m 16 -S12 -X udma2 /dev/hd{a,c}If you also want to use the line above, please be careful with the <em>”-m”</em>-option. It is possible, that it will destroy data. I’m not going to be responsible in case of doubt.
<strong>Desktop documentation (<em>mabuse.strojny.net</em>)</strong>
As another point I got lm-sensors running on my desktop. Read more in the manual itself. Hope it will be helpful.
By the way: does someone know any daemon, which checks the sensor-state and send warning-messages or also something which just logs?
