Re: [Hdaps-devel] Re: IBM HDAPS things are looking up
From what I'm told its not specific to hard disk, you
can put any laptop HD and it will work the same (?).

Hi Jens!
Thanks for the sample code. I've trimmed the
recipient list a bit...

Perhaps the IDLE or IDLEIMMEDIATE commands imply
a head parking, that

drive parking its head.
Here's a test case, it doesn't sound like it's
parking the hard here.
Not here either, but let me check, if I understand
this correctly:
#include stdio.h
#include unistd.h
#include fcntl.h
#include sys/ioctl.h
#include linux/hdreg.h
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
char cmd[4] = { 0xe1, 0, 0, 0 };
The 0xe1 in here is what is defined as
WIN_IDLEIMMEDIATE in hdreg.h,
correct?
Correct.
int fd;
if (argc 2) {
printf(%s dev\n, argv[0]);
return 1;
}
fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY);
Hmm, don't I need to actually have *write* access
for sending an ioctl?
No, but you need CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability. So run it
as root.
if (fd == -1) {
perror(open);
return 1;
}
if (ioctl(fd, HDIO_DRIVE_CMD, cmd))
perror(ioctl);
close(fd);
return 0;
}
I will give it another try, after clarifying the
above questions - maybe
there is a command that will perform the desired
task. If not, I guess
we're back at snooping what the Windows driver
does here...
I'm not aware of a generally specificed command,
it's likely that the
ibm drive has a vendor specific one. Or that one of
the idle commands
can be configured to park the drive. Or... I'm not
sure you'll find
anything interesting in the windows driver, I would
imagine that the
user app is the one issuing the ide command (like
the linux equiv would
as well).
