utility for drive disturbing

Good time of the day. I want to install an utility for disturbing (writing a byte every N seconds in order to stop it move its head to a landing zone) a mounted HDD until it is unmounted because I have the one of those well known green models from WD that lands its head every 8 seconds, AFAIK. Because the disc works as external drive and it is impossible for now to connect it directly to SATA interface, I want to bring about the trick w/ the back grounded process (accomplishing it w/ watch and echo a byte to the drive) until it is killed on un-mounting the drive (but how I can find out what is the PID (being ran from a bash script)? Before, I tried w/ another drive, another manufacturer that was connected directly to SATA controller and hdparm did not work for it - only the trick helped greatly. As for the drives power management, as I understand it - there is poor support for working/managing in linux yet, additional movements are required as to make a DOS floppy or whatever - not directly running from the distro... Thanks for Your time.

Re: Squeeze: How to hide certain partitions in Nautilus

Nautilus displays partitions that are mounted, either manually or by anautomatic system (e.g., GNOME's volume manager, udisks, etc..).
I think Nautilus sidebar displays unmounted partitions as well, because I need to mount my Windows partitions ( by clicking on that partition and providing root pass word ) when I want to open them.
Run "mount" so we can see where are they mounted. Maybe they're under "/media" :-?
When the 2 partitions I mentions are not mounted:
#mount
/dev/sda7 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
tmpfs on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620)
fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)
binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
When those 2 partitions are mounted ( see the last 2 lines: /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 ). They are mounted under /media
#mount
/dev/sda7 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
tmpfs on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620)
fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)
binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
/dev/sda1 on /media/System Reserved type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096,default_permissions)
/dev/sda2 on /media/HP_TOOLS type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush)
Thank you for the help,

Upgrading (and then rebooting) that doesn't make any difference.
