what I'm doing is to try to put the disks to sleep at night, or
when I'm not using the machine. I found what proceses to shutdown, mainly
those that do things from time to time, like the MTA. then I send a STOP
signal to kupdated. so far, so good. that works.
then I switched to ext3 and kjournald started to appear on the
processes list. and it commits the transactions very often. I know I can
set the commit interval to a high value, but both I don't know exactly
how, and I think that it's not the solution I need. sending STOP signals
to kjournald doesn't work, it seems to ignore them. what can I do?
One thing I thought: how is this supposed to work on laptops? can
they be suspended? a question related to this one: I also have ACPI turned
on and APM turned off. how can I switch to stanby states? is there a way?
again, how does it works on laptops?
remember to cc to me. bye.
