Thanks Nils for that hint.

Just a question cause i am courios:
isn´t /etc/hdparm.conf the place for that?

It´s just currently i am a bit puzzeld how to set it up right.

<--------  /etc/hdparm.conf  --------
/dev/sda {
    apm = 255
    spindown_time = 240
}
------------------------------------>

just in case someone is interested:
regarding "spindown_time" see 'man hdparm' and search for '-S'


TIA
