Spindown is a daemon to spin down idle disks andthus save energy and give the disks a longerlifetime. It also works with USB disks andhot-swappable disks because it uses the device IDto identify the disk instead of the device name(such as hda or sdb). This means that it doesn'tmatter if the disk is swapped while the daemon isrunning.
