[Bug 1131713] Re: DiskMonitor not working
In the mean time I migrated to Ubuntu Server 13.04. DiskMonitor is doing its job now and since I am the only affected I will mark this bug as invalid. ** Changed in: powernap (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to powernap in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1131713 Title: DiskMonitor not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/powernap/+bug/1131713/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 1131713] Re: DiskMonitor not working
Hi Andres, I tested the algorithm from your link. Running the script under my user account results in the status message Disk is active whether or not the drive is spinning. However, the script is working correctly when run as root. This is off coarse because hdparm needs to be invoked as root.

Note for the supplied /etc/powernap/config file: Line init = ^/sbin/init under [Process Monitor] should be commented out. Line threshold = 0under [LoadMonitor] should be changed to threshold = n.

[Bug 1131713] Re: DiskMonitor not working
Hi Alain, Would you mind trying the algorithm that detects whether the disks are active/inactive? I have put it here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5574954/ So you should only need to run it for the desired disk drive. Please let me know the output of it. If this detects that the disks are active/inactive correctly, then it is something else which prevents powernap from doing what's supposed to.

[Bug 1131713] Re: DiskMonitor not working
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we cannot work on this bug because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read How to report bugs effectively http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem. At a minimum, we need: 1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem, 2. the behavior you expected, and 3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible). You also haven't told us which version of powernap you are using, or which release you are on. Please execute the following command, as it will automatically gather debugging information, in a terminal: apport-collect 1131713 When reporting bugs in the future please use apport by using 'ubuntu- bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs. Once done, please change the bug status back to New.
