I wold like to know how to turn off (spindown) SATA HDD on Debian after 10 min inactivity.
I wold like to setup a NAS based on Debian. The NAS will be hallways ON but I want the NAS HDD to gos off after 10 of inactivity. When I access the NAS server the HDD should go back ON (after a small delay).

Thank you,

Please see man hdparm
Not all drives support all the options, so YMMV.
