 for a configurable number of seconds, spin the disk down.  Spin it back
 up on the next request.

Add a "spindown" facility to ata-disks: If no requests have been received

Nice!

Very nice indeed, I've been hoping for this. Thanks Poul-Henning!

For those who want to try it against -STABLE, you'll find the cumulated diff at http://www.schmalzbauer.de/downloads/atacontrol-spindown_RELENG7.diff

Copy to /usr/src and 'patch -i atacontrol-spindown_RELENG7.diff'

Best regards,
