Hi, again! I expirienced what I assume is a harddrive reset unter MS Windows. The harddisk makes a noise like it is parking it's heads at arbitrary points in time. Somtimes, I notice a short delay in mouse movement during the noise period. I think the windows driver "works around" the system freeze by using a smaller timeout than Linux. In theory the same should be possible on linux through sysfs. Issuing as root user (or adding it to /etc/rc.local):
echo "1" > /sys/bus/scsi/devices/0:0:0:0/timeout will set the timeout from 30s to 1s. I tried suspend to ram (and wakeup) with this setting and it still worked.. I'll report back if there are any sideeffects for me. Cheers, Christian PS: Is there any tool like sysctl, which sets parameters in /proc, to set parameters in sysfs? -- ata_piix problem with Intel ICH7 chipset https://launchpad.net/bugs/53754 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
