Package: powersaved
Version: 0.9.25-1
Severity: minor
I tried to make work the acoustic or power management of disks on my
computer, but when changing of schemes, nothing is happening. I deduced that
it was because my disk was a SCSI disk.
The package provides the control of power management of disk. However, it
excludes the SCSI disk. Nowadays, as SATA disks are emulated through SCSI
drivers, the commands with hdparm works on these disks. For example:
linotte:/etc/powersave# hdparm -B 128 /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
setting Advanced Power Management level to 0x80 (128)
linotte:/etc/powersave# hdparm -I /dev/sda | grep power
Advanced power management level: 128 (0x80)
It could be great that powersaved includes the control of these disks (maybe
a variable in /etc/powersave/disk ?).
In /etc/powersave/disk I have:
HDPARM_STBY_PERF="254"
HDPARM_STBY_SAVE="128"
HDPARM_STBY_AGGR="1"
In /etc/powersave/scheme_performance I have:
POWERSAVE_DISK_STANDBY_MODE="performance"
And in /etc/powersave/scheme_powersave I have:
POWERSAVE_DISK_STANDBY_MODE="powersave"
And when switching of scheme (manually or by unpluggin AC), nothing is
happening when I check the status of my disk with hdparm.
If I made a mistake, please contact me, but I think that this is normal
because powersave does not manage SCSI disks.

Jean-Francois Lalande.
