--CIvnmBjnCkOH19pP Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline I noted that when idle, my laptop HDD increases the Load_Cycle_Count (193) approx. each ten seconds, as reported by smartctl. Have recently read about the Ubuntu and APM mode for hard drives, I searched for the tool to tune APM (that has functionality similar to linux' hdparm -B). It seems that FreeBSD does not have a tool ? Am I wrong ? In case I did not make a mistake, below is the patch that allows to manage APM state of the hard drive using atacontrol. Any comments or objections against committing this ? http://people.freebsd.org/~kib/misc/ata_setcap.1.patch --CIvnmBjnCkOH19pP Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkeoXlIACgkQC3+MBN1Mb4jLswCg5qNR41hQLEL7e322e+VGQWZE +eYAn11lO9m5QT0Pg7KOxPzdABbkBEA/ =p6Js -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --CIvnmBjnCkOH19pP--
