Description:
|
|
(RW) Used by drivers which support software controlled activity
|
|
LEDs.
|
|
|
|
It has the following valid values:
|
|
|
|
== ========================================================
|
|
0 OFF - the LED is not activated on activity
|
|
1 BLINK_ON - the LED blinks on every 10ms when activity is
|
|
detected.
|
|
2 BLINK_OFF - the LED is on when idle, and blinks off
|
|
every 10ms when activity is detected.
|
|
== ========================================================
|
|
|
|
Note that the user must turn sw_activity OFF it they wish to
|
|
control the activity LED via the em_message file.

Description:
|
|
(RW) Hard disk shock protection
|
|
|
|
Writing an integer value to this file will take the heads of the
|
|
respective drive off the platter and block all I/O operations
|
|
for the specified number of milliseconds.
|
|
|
|
- If the device does not support the unload heads feature,
|
|
access is denied with -EOPNOTSUPP.
|
|
- The maximal value accepted for a timeout is 30000
|
|
milliseconds.
|
|
- A previously set timeout can be cancelled and disk can resume
|
|
normal operation immediately by specifying a timeout of 0.
|
|
- Some hard drives only comply with an earlier version of the
|
|
ATA standard, but support the unload feature nonetheless.
|
|
There is no safe way Linux can detect these devices, so this
|
|
is not enabled by default. If it is known that your device
|
|
does support the unload feature, then you can tell the kernel
|
|
to enable it by writing -1. It can be disabled again by
|
|
writing -2.
|
|
- Values below -2 are rejected with -EINVAL

Description:
|
|
(RW) Write to the file to turn on or off the SATA NCQ (native
|
|
command queueing) priority support. By default this feature is
|
|
turned off. If the device does not support the SATA NCQ
|
|
priority feature, writing "1" to this file results in an error
|
|
(see ncq_prio_supported).

This file does not exist if the HBA driver does not implement
