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.
'hdparm -S /dev/hda' does not spin down the drive, it sets a standby timeout for that drive. With no argument, it will likely fail or disable standby for that drive.
The -y option forcefully spins down the drive.
