Packet to keep the HD spun down when idle

Version: 950506
Entered-date: 1995-05-06
Description: Mainly a kernel patch to the ext2 filesystem, which keeps it from writing atime timestamps. Accompnied by a script to put /dev/* into ramdisk during bootup. Doing these two things can greatly increase the periods during which a harddisk is spun down due to being idle.
