From my experience, as I posted I have never had Linux spin down a drive |
| 29 |
without me telling it to or setting it up to do so. If you want that to |
| 30 |
be disabled as you have it in windows, the default settings should be |
| 31 |
fine. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
If you have a drive that is not being used, then you can use one of |
| 34 |
those commands to shut it down to save power, wear and tear or whatever. |
