Summary : Daemon that can spin idle disks down
URL : http://code.google.com/p/spindown
License : GPLv3+
Description : Spindown is a daemon that can spin idle disks down and thus save energy and
: improve disk lifetime. It periodically checks for read or written blocks. When
: no blocks are read or written the disk is idle. When a disk stays idle long
: enough, spindown uses custom command like sg_start or hdparm to spin it down.
: It also works with USB disks and hot-swappable disks because it doesn't watch
: the device name (hda, sdb, ...), but the device ID. This means that it doesn't
: matter if the disk is swapped while the daemon is running.
