Description Sascha Sommer 2007-08-19 10:26:23 UTC

In 10.2 the disksettings could be adjusted in /etc/sysconfig/powersave/disk.

As the suspend code in my disk seems to be quite broke ( it powers off the hdd after only a few seconds ) what lead to many annoying suspend and resume cycles I used HDPARM_RAW_PERF="-S 0" to switch off the standy in the disk settings.

This is no longer possible in openSUSE 10.3

I'm no expert regarding disk settings and laptop mode settings. Stefan, can you care, please?

Holger, does powersaved still execute anything or is it now the plain policy agent?

Anyway, this should be solved in a HAL callout, which can be used / configured by the desktop applets. This will not happen before 10.3 and basically i'd say that's a feature request.

The set_disk_settings script which was responsible for this in the past doesn't exist anymore in current powersaved. So yes, everything should should be done by someone else. Preferably pm-utils? Just adding a hook to the SetPowersave (pm-powersave) method should be enough?
