Package: noflushd
Version: 2.7.5-2
I quote from the man page:
-v ... Log information about events such as disk spinup to syslog. ...
Unfortunately, for the typical use of noflushd (laptop-like machine
that spins down its only disk), the implementation of -v is
suboptimal, since disk spindown is definitely not an "event
such as disk spinup" --- not in the context of a daemon that
tries to spin down the disk.
In other words, while logging on disk spinup is desirable
(to find out the number and pattern of disk spinup from the
log files), logging the spindown is highly undesirable since
it triggers disk activity ...
As this is a daemon very specifically designed to switch off
the disk, it should have an option that defers logging of
the spindown to the time of spinup, so that one gets
a log like this:
<time-now> noflushd: disk spinup after spindown at <time-old>
Otherwise, -v cannot be sensibly used.
Regards,
Claus
