Hi there,
I've noticed that when my laptop is running on battery power that the 
hard drive spins down very soon after idle (something like 5 secs).

Is this supposed to be happening?
Is there a way to adjust the delay?

I've tried using hdparm and the xscreensaver settings to no avail.

Regards
Nick
