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.
Thanks,
Mark
