Subject: Re: kern/133593: [ata] `atacontrol spindown` won't affect disk
until some data is read from it
Date: Sat, 11 Apr 2009 08:44:07 +0100
This is documented as the way the spindown command works. From
atacontrol(8):
spindown Set or report timeout after which the device will be spun
down. To arm the timeout the device needs at least one more request
after setting the timeout. To disable spindown, set the time- out to
zero. No further actions are needed in this case.
