Pooz,
Sorry for my low spinning up...
I discarded making backups to the NAS, because it found it too slow for that.
But, if you like to do that, no problem.
With KFurge's code:
My code:# Do the necessary steps so the internal HDD will enter low power
# idle after 5 minutes and low RPM idle after 1 hour
if [ "$kc_spin_down_hdd" != "No" ]; then
mount -o remount,noatime,nodiratime /shares/${pool}
hdparm -B 164 ${internal_hdd}
hdparm -B 114 ${internal_hdd}
smartctl -dT ${internal_hdd}
fi
hdparm -S 60 ${internal_hdd}
will stop the disk spinning after 60 minutes (or seconds?). Just google for it to make sure.
