Hi all,
I have a disk with two partitions, and when I enter sudo blkid, each partition shows a different UUID and PARTUUID, so 4 UUIDs altogether.
I'm looking to set a spindown time in hdparm, and wondering which UUID(s) to use? I'd like the whole drive to spin down when not being used. (Assuming this is the right thing to do. I noticed that the drive will be spinning when nothing is happening for a long time). Do I make separate entries into /etc/hdparm.conf for both partitions using the UUIDs (not PARTUUID)? Basically like this:
/dev/disk/by-uuid/[UUID-ONE] { spindown_time = 120 } /dev/disk/by-uuid/[UUID-TWO] { spindown_time = 120 }
Also wondering how can I confirm that it's set up properly?
Thanks very much in advance!
