Using hdparm...Forum: User Feedback Topic: Using hdparm... started by: nucpc Posted by nucpc on April 27 2004,17:28
Just been trying "hdparm -Y" on a Sony VAIO and managedto squeeze 1 hour of use out of a very very tired battery that would provide say just 10 - 15 mins on other operating systems with the hard disk going. I'm running toram noswap (to stop the pick up of an existing swap partition) but didn't succeed in getting the hard disk to sleep; hdparm -C reports the disk at "standby" despite the sleep request being issued. Are other folk doing better than this?? |
