Every few seconds something accesses my harddrive, therefore a suspend (hdparm -S1 /dev/hda) is impossible. I have a notebook, so I would really like to spin down the drive for less heat, noise and a longer battery life.
I suspect the filesystem reiserfs to do these annoying accesses. It is a journaling filessystem and I guess that ext3 would do that also. Somewhere I found a tip to mount with noatime, but that didn't help. So what are my options? I read about noflushd which reduces drive access to a minimum, but only works with ext2. I would prefer to keep the journaling file system. Anyone solved that problem? Will reiser4 be better in that view? mg -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
