spin off hard disks for a session
Posted: 09 Oct 2015, 10:05
Hi everyone!
I am relatively new to Porteus, and not a Linux geek but I manage all the same I would need some help, please.
The purpose:
I'd like to run Porteus from a USB-key (done with YUMI) on my laptop with as less power consumption as possible. So it would be nice to spin off the hard drives for a complete session.
The problem:
To save power I manage spin off the hard drives (hdparm -Y) but although I do not use them, they are unmounted, after say 5 minutes they spin up again.
Others:
-cheat code change=EXIT entered
-copy2ram cheat code in place
-hard drives unmounted
My system:
Porteus 3.1 desktop edition MATE 64bit
Any ideas?
