Comment Is this reason why we cant spin down disks? (Score 4, Interesting) 416
On of my gripes with Linux is that one cannot spin down the disks to lessen their wear and tear.
Ive been told that the kernel constantly needs to access the disk...
Is this the reason of something else prevents the disks from spinning down?
