I have a PowerMac 7500 that has been running an Apache Web server and
MySQL Database server for several years. It's still on YDL 2.4 with
linux kernel 2.4.18-0.9a. The thing runs non-stop and the hard drive is
continually spinning. I'm worried after 2.5 years of non-stop usage
that the hard drives will get worn out. Is there any power management
options within YDL 2.4 or 3.0 (Looking forward to upgrading) that will
spin down a SCSI hard drive in a 7500 when not in use? The fan spinning
down would also be nice as those older machines are loud. I would need
it to wake on network activity such as a Web GET request or SSH connection.
Thanks,
Mark
