You can use the command "fuser -c /dev/hdc" to determine which processes are
using that device.

Subject: [mythtv-users] I can't get my HDD to spindown when idle
I'm trying to get my MythTV backend server to spindown its HDDs after
a given period of time in order to save power and reduce unnecessary
heat generation.
My videos are stored on /dev/hdd, and it spins down fine.
However, /dev/hdc only contains the /home mount and it never seems to
spindown. I have set:
/sbin/hdparm -S120
... on both drives. If I use hdparm from the command-line to spindown
/dev/hdc, it works fine, so I know it's not a hardware-issue.
Something must be keeping the HDD active, but I don't know what it is,
or how to find out.
I have already moved all cron jobs/scripts to another mount, not on this
drive.
I am running Fedora Core 4.
1) Any ideas what is keeping my HDD spinning up?
2) Is there a linux commandline tool I can use to find out what
processes have open filehandles? Specifically on /dev/hdc if possible.
Thanks
