Hi All

I cant get hdparm -S x to spindown my harddrive, since I guess there is an
application repeatedly, about every second acessing my hd. How can I identify
this application, and then get my hd to spin down after 30 min?

Have you tried disabling unused services? Setting the log path to a
ramdrive with a cron job to flush to disk?
