Package: hdparm Version: 7.7-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Hi,

entering of spindown times. You can use the suffixes s, m and h to define
the spindown time.

This is a snippet for hdparm.conf
# -S standby (spindown) timeout for the drive
# you can use the suffix' s for seconds, m for minutes and h for hours
#spindown_time = 2m
