We are thinking how we should make things and have made most of the decesions. We still need help from anyone that might know about this. Please, if you can think of anything, let us know. The head_park script given by Jens Axboe was good for us, but we need to park the head of the hard drive for a certain amount of time, please call it 5 seconds or 10 seconds. I/We do not know how to make this script to *park* the head for the selected amount of time. Can anyone give us a clue? Here is the current head_park http://hdaps.sourceforge.net/head_park Cheers, .Alejandro
