seagate drive and i/o errors

Hello all, I have a quick question. When I do a ls on this drive and it's spun down, i get an i/o error. I'm curious if there's a way to write a module or do something to make the drive wake up when I do a r/w request on it? I've had an external and it never had this problem. I also know i could modify the scsi params to make it not sleep, but that doesn't work and that is not the best of ideas anyway. I like it sleeping, I don't even mind waiting for an LS. It's just hard to manage when i have to umount -l the directory, then figure out what sd* dev it's on. -- Take care, Ty Web: http://tds-solutions.net The Aspen project: a light-weight barebones mud engine http://code.google.com/p/aspenmud Sent from my toaster.
