Hello, since spring I run Debian on a EPIA PD-6000E, a complete fanless system. Noise is a big issue since it's running in my bedroom. I use "noflushd -n 5" to spin down hd, noflushd is "aptable". I also use ext2.
"man syslog.conf" - there are some options here to sinlence syslogd. "man syslogd" - use "-m 0" switch to get rid of marks in logfile. "ls -lart /var/log" - check to se other stuff that write logs. I have not yet managed to make use of syslog in a way that I like. When I get upset/disturbed I simply "sudo kill" the syslogd.... I know this HD-spindown is an issue for lots of people - a FAQ or something for Debian-silence would be nice. regards David. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
