Hallo,

I want to standby my SCSI drives in my server. With a IDE
drive I can use the "hdparm -S" command. How can I do the
same for a SCSI drive?

Best regards

Ralph

short answer: no

do a google search for scsi spindown. Last I heard, it couldn't be used
on a scsi drive containing a swap partition.

Not by a user program I know, though the SCSI protocol itself supports
START/STOP commands that can be used for right that.

So long,
