T21 running MDK9.0, PCMCIA wlan network and usb-mouse. Automounting an
nfs samba disk for my own file directory.
I am trying to have the hard disk stop after X min of inactivity. The
computer is in the living room and often just left on for long time.
I changed from ext3 to ext2, added the "noatime" parameter in fstab,
also tried noflush from sourceforge with 1 min (for testing purpose)
timeout, but the disk still only stops for a few seconds. Same if I set
a very short timeout using hdparm.
Any more suggested tricks to get this working?
