Hello folks ! I am now in the process to reduce power consumption on my Woody box (great, isn't it?) So far I've managed to get DPMS working so that my monitor will go to standby mode when I'm AFK.
Now the question: I have two HD, /dev/hda and /dev/hdc that are mounted as follows: Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda2 7384424 1895048 5114260 28% / /dev/hda3 3075536 1283008 1636296 44% /usr/local /dev/hdc2 3909084 2509760 1200748 68% /home /dev/hda1 9428928 5506328 3922600 59% /windows At boot time I have the following commands executed: hdparm -S 180 /dev/hda hdparm -S 180 /dev/hdc so that my two HDs will go to sleep after 15 min. Everything is fine with /dev/hdc (/home), but /dev/hda will always wake up after a few seconds of sleep ! I can't figure out what's provoking this behaviour? Here are my running processes: PID TTY TIME CMD 1 ? 00:00:03 init 2 ? 00:00:00 keventd 3 ? 00:16:15 kapm-idled 4 ? 00:00:00 ksoftirqd_CPU0 5 ? 00:00:00 kswapd 6 ? 00:00:00 bdflush 7 ? 00:00:00 kupdated 44 ? 00:00:00 khubd 200 ? 00:00:00 syslogd 203 ? 00:00:00 klogd 212 ? 00:00:00 inetd 215 ? 00:00:00 jabberd 218 ? 00:00:00 jabberd 229 ? 00:00:00 lpd 242 ? 00:00:00 safe_mysqld 275 ? 00:00:00 mysqld 277 ? 00:00:00 mysqld 278 ? 00:00:00 mysqld 288 ? 00:00:00 mysqld 290 ? 00:00:00 slapd 294 ? 00:00:00 slapd 295 ? 00:00:00 slapd 297 ? 00:00:02 xfs 301 ? 00:00:00 proftpd 322 ? 00:00:00 gdm 327 ? 00:00:00 gdm 328 ? 00:04:22 XFree86 409 tty2 00:00:00 getty 410 tty3 00:00:00 getty 411 tty4 00:00:00 getty 412 tty5 00:00:00 getty 413 tty6 00:00:00 getty 421 ? 00:00:00 gnome-session 453 ? 00:00:01 xscreensaver 460 ? 00:00:00 gnome-smproxy 472 ? 00:00:05 sawfish 478 ? 00:00:03 panel 480 ? 00:00:00 gmc 484 ? 00:00:00 gnome-name-serv 486 ? 00:00:03 tasklist_applet 504 ? 00:00:00 adsl-connect 533 ? 00:00:00 pppd 541 ? 00:00:00 pppoe 599 ? 00:00:00 snort 758 ? 00:00:00 run-mozilla.sh 763 ? 00:05:39 mozilla-bin 765 ? 00:00:00 mozilla-bin 766 ? 00:00:01 mozilla-bin 767 ? 00:00:00 mozilla-bin 769 ? 00:00:00 mozilla-bin 837 ? 00:00:00 apache 838 ? 00:00:00 apache 839 ? 00:00:00 apache 840 ? 00:00:01 apache 841 ? 00:00:00 apache 842 ? 00:00:00 apache 844 ? 00:00:00 apache 845 ? 00:00:00 apache 846 ? 00:00:00 apache 847 ? 00:00:00 apache 902 ? 00:00:00 sh 903 ? 00:00:00 gnome-terminal 904 ? 00:00:00 gnome-pty-helpe 905 ttyp0 00:00:00 bash 917 tty1 00:00:00 getty 1050 ? 00:00:15 emacs 1051 ttyp2 00:00:00 gnuserv 1064 ttyp0 00:00:00 bash 1092 ? 00:00:00 cron 1095 ? 00:00:00 atd 1124 ttyp0 00:00:00 ps Any idea ????
