Next trick: hdparm. I want to disable, or at least shove way up, the spindown timeout on these drives, which, depending on the thread you read, is 6 or 8 seconds. hdparm should let me do that... but before I
do, I'd
like to know what it's set at. Does anyone know how to find that out? And no, the manpage is wrong, hdparm -B<no parm) /dev/sdx does *not* read it, it just complains it's missing the parm.
Isn't it sdparm for scsi and scsi emulations?
That may be around, but they've updated hdparm to deal with SATA as well.
