I have some noisy and power hungry disks that I'd like to spindle down
after unmounting them, but while the rest of the system is still running.
I remember such as a patch to auto-spindle down scsi disk when idle. What
I need is a manula way of stoping a disk, such as
echo "sda spindle-down" > /proc/scsi/xzy
Does such a thing exist? Someone got a pointer to the patch I was talking
?
TIA,
