        <title>Stop spinning hard drive?</title>
        <description> I&amp;#039;m using PogoPlug Debian with a hard drive.  sda1 main system partition and sda3 for data.  What&amp;#039;s the best way to put hard drive to sleep so it will stop spinning.  I already tried hd-idle but it just stopped the whole system and then I couldn&amp;#039;t even access PogoPlug.  Is it possible to stop hard drive spinning until I connect to transmission or CouchPotato/SickBeard would request to wake up the hard drive?</description>

            <description><![CDATA[ This would normally be done via hdparm (hdparm.conf settings-file). But having the system directly on the drive, makes hdparm ignore it for spindown, IIRC.<br />
So, best solution would be to have the system on USB, NAND or whatever and only using the drive for storage. IF, spindown is mandatory for you, that is. ;-)]]></description>
