    Hi,

    I've done a small patch to the -CURRENT atacontrol and ata driver to
    allow explicit switch of drives to idle or standby mode and query the
    current mode. I use it to spin down disks needed only very inregularly.
    If extended by a means to set the idle timeout this might be
    particularly useful to notebook users as well.

    Or have I actually missed the some already present functionality to
    achieve the same? 

    -- 
Cheers,
Micha
