Power Management in Linux

I installed Redhat 9 and it seems that my hard drive spins all the time...is there any way to enable powermanagement in Linux?
 
You can use hdparm to set power attributes for drives like spin-down time. In my experience, though, that doesn't do much for your system drive - it tends to wake up frequently to do things like run cron jobs and write log files. If you're not running on a laptop with strict power requirements, I wouldn't bother.
