How can I (or can I not) make noflushd turn off the second hard drive after about 15 minutes?
My first drive is /dev/hda. It contains Windows 2000 on an NTFS partition, Windows 98 on Fat32, Lycoris (can't remember the fs) and Debian (on ReiserFS). I don't mind this drive, it's quiet and contains only the OSes.
My other drive is /dev/hdb. It is the 100Gb Drive. It consists of 5 partitions, all of which are of type Fat32. My computer is only about 3 feet from my bed, so this drive would definately keep me up. Either that or have to keep shutdown every night.
Also, when I shutdown, if there is something ready to write to the drive, will it save, or will the kernel just ignore it.
I'm running linux kernel 2.6.4, with ACPI enabled. It's a custom kernel, so if I need to make some modifications, I will.
I'm going to be trying this on my Debian Install. I know I can't make /dev/hda spin down (because of the ReiserFS), but I would like to be able to spin down /dev/hdb (containing only FAT32 partitions.)
Oh, one last thing (sorry), I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but when I type 'acpi' at konsole it responds "No support for device type: battery". Is this important? I'm running a desktop, so I'm not using a battery to power the system.
Thanks and sorry for the length of the post.
