What was Mr. Lord (author of hdparm) smoking?
- From the man page:
- -S Set the standby (spindown) timeout for the drive. This value
is used by the drive to determine 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 "off".
Values from 1 to 240 specify multiples of 5 seconds, for
timeouts from 5 seconds to 20 minutes. Values from 241 to
251 specify from 1 to 11 units of 30 minutes, for timeouts
from 30 minutes to 5.5 hours. A value of 252 signifies a
timeout of 21 minutes, 253 sets a vendor-defined timeout, and
255 is interpreted as 21 minutes plus 15 seconds.
..."somewhat peculiar"?
