+Idle3-tools provides a linux/unix utility that can disable, get and set the
+value of the infamous idle3 timer found on recent Western Digital Hard Disk
+Drives.
+
+It can be used as an alternative to the official wdidle3.exe proprietary
+utility, without the need to reboot in a DOS environement.
+
+A power off/on cycle of the drive will still be mandatory for new settings
+to be taken into account.
+
+Modern Western Digital "Green" Drives include the Intellipark feature that
+stops the disk when not in use.  Unfortunately, the default timer setting is
+not perfect on linux/unix systems, including many NAS, and leads to a dramatic
+increase of the Load Cycle Count value (SMART attribute #193).
+
+Idle3-tools is an independant project, unrelated in any way to 
+Western Digital Corp.
+
+WARNING : THIS SOFTWARE IS EXPERIMENTAL AND NOT WELL TESTED. IT ACCESSES LOW
+LEVEL INFORMATION OF YOUR HARDDRIVE. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
+# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
+# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
+# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.
