Slightly curious here. I have fairly new computer here that I got from walmart.com maybe 4 months ago. I decided to install linux and windows on it. Ok. I installed a 100Gb harddrive into the computer that has all my data on it. And the drive sounds like a jet plane.

How can I (or can I not) make noflushd turn off the second hard drive after about 15 minutes?



I believe "hdparm" is the command you are looking for.


something like:

"hdparm -s 30 /dev/hdb"

I think that argument is uppercase, i.e.:

hdparm -S 240 /dev/hdb

p.s. man hdparm for details.
