Thank You for Your time and answer, ludovico: >something like >$ cat [list of files] > /dev/null >should cache the files. If you have enough unused ram they will stay in memory.

HDD powersaving at music playing.
Good day. I want that my HDD be turned off most the time. I have laptop-mode installed, and tuned as seems me good, but there is one problem that I think prevents it from stopping - when music is playing, how I can load a lot of files into RAM so that a mplayer would not read from the HDD? Thanks for Your time. PS Please, reply to the list. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
