That's why I mentioned laptop-mode-tools. If configured properly, it |
| 8 |
ensures that the drive will not spin up a few seconds after having |
| 9 |
stopped, by buffering all writes. For example, I have configured my |
| 10 |
laptop to buffer writes for up to 10 minutes. |

The drawback, obviously, is that I can loose up to 10 minutes of work if |
| 13 |
I have a power interruption, but on a laptop, this never happens. I'm |
| 14 |
not sure I would want to have that on a server, though. |
