Stop problematic disk spin-downs
Authored by: MogwaiSC on Jan 17, '04 01:33:55AM

I am running 10.3.2 and tried this hint exactly as described. Upon using pmset -g to check the spindown time after a reboot, spindown time was set to 10. So, clearly this hint is broken for 10.3 (.2 anyway).

However, I did a manual change in Terminal to "spindown 0" which survived a reboot. As such it would seem this hint is no longer necessary, though I have yet to test the long term effects of this, to see if it indeed does prevent all drives from spinning down. I'll report back later with my findings.
