Re: atacontrol spindown


Hi, Daniel,

It must be periodic(8), but I have trouble identifying what exactly could be the trigger. If I look at /etc/defaults/periodic.conf, it has
daily_clean_disks_enable="NO".
With respect to daily checks, I just have the default setup, nothing that I added myself.

Are there any other configuration options that I should look at?

Thanks,

Alexander.

Hi,

With FreeBSD 7.1 I've started using atacontrol
spindown for my secondary disks (i.e. disks that are
accessed very infrequently). Everything seemed to work nice
until I noticed in my "daily security run output"
list of kernel messages that suggests that disks get awaken
every night at 3 am. Could someone suggest what could
trigger my disks to wake up?


Hi Alexander,

maybe it is cron when it runs the daily security checks so
it checks
for the disk? Or have a look at your cronjobs

with best regards

D. Dowse
