Green hard disk drives

[João M. S. Silva]

I tried lm-monitor on my server and got:

Write frequency :
      35 kworker/u2:0
      40 kworker/u2:2
      57 kworker/u2:1
     137 jbd2/sdb1-8
Read frequency :
       1 dhclient-script
       1 dirname
       1 ip

 From the suggestions for service disabling I could only follow the 
advice to disable atd, since the other services are used.
