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.

What: /sys/block/*/device/unload_heads

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
