Hi there. I've two SCSI harddisks and what I'm looking for is a tool/kernel patch that spins down those drives after some idle time and up again when needed.
I've tried scsi-idle (original version by Christer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, version for 2.0.30 by Matthew Jachimstal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and for 2.2.10 by Trent Piepho <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>). I had to remove it after my box crashed twice within 24 hours (those were my first crashes ever). Are there alternative to scsi-idle or other places where I could ask? I'm using linux 2.2.10 && slink Thanks in advance. Peter PS: fyi: the scsi controller is an AHA 2940 U2W, the disks are IBM DRVS09V and there's one swap partition on each of them. I've five md devices that use these two disks (raid0 for /usr, /home, /export/incoming, /export/pub, /mnt/stuff; / and /var are on an ide disk) -- Weasel http://www.cosy.sbg.ac.at/~ppalfrad/ PGP encrypted messages prefered.
