Hard disk spin down problem
Hi, I have an iBook G4 and I like to leave my computer on during the night so I have the spin down hard disk whenever possible feature turned on so I it's not bad for my hdd.
Excpet recently I'm waking up to a very hot hdd. On closer inspection the hdd will spin down, but for some reason will start to spin again shortly after it just spins down, and then the pattern repeats. this is really bad for the hdd.
The only app I keep on is iChat, and it used to be fine (hard disk would just be spun down for the whole night)
examined user processes and there too, nothing unusual running.
So what's up here? How do I fix this?
Thanks in advance.
