Hi,
I've decided to use an external USB disk as backup with rsync. This works fine.
When the external disk is mounted, it does not go into standby/sleep/whatever, though I'm using it only for 30minutes at night.
Is there a way to do this with C4, 2.6.9-78.0.8.ELsmp? E.g. unmount/some special command/upgrade to 5.2?
Thx Raier

man sg_start (part of the sg3_utils package). For a Western Digital MyBook I use: sg_start 0 --pc=3 /dev/sda

that's exactly what I was looking for, have the same WD drive here.
I'm not in front of the server so I can only presume by the time it takes to mount/access - it does only standby when the filesystem is not mounted?
Thx Rainer

No, the drive goes immediately to standby mode even if the partitions are mounted. When you access a directory or a file the drive is brought back online automatically.
