Hi, I am running the ext3 filesystem on a laptop. The default value for the commit time of ext3 seems to be 30 sec, which is too short for the HD to spin down. How can I increase this timeout ?
Has anyone experineces of bad impacts in increasing this timeout to several minutes ? standard-kernel : 2.4.17 e2fsprogs version: 1.25-1 Daniel _____________________________________________ Daniel Faller Fakultaet fuer Physik Abt.
