Hi all;

Is there an atactl command available, or similar, for CentOS?  A need  
for a GUI for it in BQ?

I'd like to set the idle time for the ATA drives, just to save drive  
life.

I've googled around a bit but not found anything for RedHat or  
CentOS/ BQ.

Is this something useful (power/saving settings) even for all you  
with production systems?

Thanks,

Brian
