GSTOPD(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual GSTOPD(8)

gstopd —
stop disks in the case of inactivity using GEOM statistics

gstopd [-I interval] diskX ...

The gstopd daemon can be used to stop disks after an certain amount of inactivity using geom(4) statisics. Messages get logged via syslog(3) using the local0.info priority.

The options are as follows:

interval
The amount of inactivity in seconds of a disk after which the disk should get stopped Adding a suffix of m, h, or s (the default) indicates that the update interval is specified in minutes, hours, or seconds, respectively.
diskX
Specifies one or more disks which should get monitored and stoped if appropriate.

gstat(8) geom(4)

A gstopd utility appeared in FreeBSD 5.2.

The gstopd daemon is currently only able to stop disks which are connected to CAM(4) subsystem.

Since it stops disks using the external camcontrol(8) tool it will be difficult to get the disk with the root filesystem on it stopped.
