Thanks for the reply. I really appreciate it.
OK, this is where my linux knowledge is hampering me as I have no idea how I can create the rc.local and rc.bootbin files using telnet!
cd /unslung
touch rc.bootbin
touch rc.local
However before you get too sucked into this it might be worth figuring out why your disk isn’t spinning down first. I used to have a single disk setup and the disk was spundown quite a lot of the time. For example, what rescan interval have you set for Firefly? Are there frequently scheduled jobs in crontab such as ntpclient stuff? If there isn’t much running on the slug it shouldn’t be doing much disk access.
