警惕 laptop-mode-tools 的 HD_IDLE_TIMEOUT 参数
之前讨论影响硬盘寿命的 load/unload 的问题(见 旧文一 、 旧文二 ),都是集中于对 haprm -B 参数的调整。而这次要提醒大家注意的,是 hdparm -S 参数。 这里是 man hdparm 的 -S 部分的说明。 Set the standby (spindown) timeout for the drive. This value is used by the drive to deter‐mine how long to wait (with no disk activity) before turning off the spindle motor to save power. Under such circumstances, the drive may take as long as 30 seconds to respond to a subsequent disk access, though most drives are much quicker. The encoding of the timeout value is somewhat peculiar. A value of zero means "timeouts are disabled": the device will not automatically enter standby mode. Values from 1 to 240 specify multiples of 5 seconds, yielding timeouts from 5 seconds to 20 minutes. Values from 241 to 251 specify from 1 to 11 units of 30 minutes, yielding timeouts from 30 minutes to 5.5 hours. A value of 252 signifies a timeout of 21 minutes. A value of 253 sets a vendor-defined timeout period between 8 and 12 hours, and the...
