The drive is mounted (contains the / partition). If no program access |
| 31 |
the harddisk, this actually shouldn't matter as otherwise the whole |
| 32 |
concept of laptop-mode etc. is nuts (or I completely misunderstood it :-) ). |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
So does it only work if no partition of the harddisk is mounted? |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Help is greatly appreciated! |
