Hello,

I'm currently looking for ways to improve power management on
SPARCbooks, mainly adding things like some sort of standby mode, turning
off unused peripherals and so on. We can for instance turn off power for
the internl SCSI disk ( in case a drive wouldn't honour a motor stop
command ) So, I have a few questions:
- are there any objections against adding a power hook to sd so it would
  flush the drive's cache before we're going to remove power?
- is there anything to do after turning the drive back on to resume
  operation?=20

have fun
Michael
