[vdr] Re: hd spindown with noflushd?

[Achim_Lange@t-online.de (Achim Lange)]

Hello Gernot,

sorry to tell you, but this problem is known and documented. at least in my
debian-distro it was mentioned in /usr/share/doc/noflushd or in the manpage
(not definately sure, which one of them).


Ciao,

    Achim
