I don't know the syscall, but a "hdparm -C $DEVICE" will tell you if the drive is active/idle or standby: # hdparm -C /dev/hdb /dev/hdb: drive state is: active/idle # hdparm -y /dev/hdb /dev/hdb: issuing standby command # hdparm -C /dev/hdb /dev/hdb: drive state is: standby R. -- ___________________________________________________________________ It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak aloud and remove all doubt. +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Richard Lucassen, Utrecht | | Public key and email address: | | http://www.lucassen.org/mail-pubkey.html | +------------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
