Jens, could you give us a hint on how a > userspace application would do that? Dunno if there's something that explicitly only parks the head, the best option is probably to issue a STANDBY_NOW command. You can test this with hdparm -y. Generel observation on this driver - why isn't it just contained in user space? You need to do the monitoring and sending of ide commands from there anyways, I don't see the point of putting it in the kernel. -- Jens Axboe - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
