I don't know much about USB drives but we did have the reverse problem with a Seagate FreeAgent, which would spin down by itself even when in use. Luckily we found some posts that explained how to tell the drive not to spin down, and the method worked. So perhaps the same technique will enable you to spin down your drives? <http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/07/seagate-freeagent-drives-not-down-with-linux/> <http://alienghic.livejournal.com/382903.html> Cheers, Dave _______________________________________________ Dirvish mailing list [email protected] http://www.dirvish.org/mailman/listinfo/dirvish
