[Bug 225600] New: powersaved: incorrect acoustic mgmt
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=225600 Summary: powersaved: incorrect acoustic mgmt Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: RC 5 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jengelh@gmx.de QAContact: qa@suse.de At first I thought my HD was going to die, since after upgrade to 10.2 it was significantly louder. However, as turned out, /etc/sysconfig/powersave/disk houses a setting HD_ACOUSTIC_PERF="-M 254" which seems like the logical source of the problem. A test showed this: 09:09 ichi:/etc/sysconfig/powersave # hdparm -M 128 /dev/hdc /dev/hdc: setting acoustic management to 128 acoustic = 128 (128=quiet ... 254=fast) 09:09 ichi:/etc/sysconfig/powersave # rcpowersaved restart Shutting down powersaved done Starting powersaved: done 09:09 ichi:/etc/sysconfig/powersave # hdparm -M /dev/hdc /dev/hdc: acoustic = 254 (128=quiet ... 254=fast) I turned down the value to 253 (this disk has 128..253=quiet, 254=fast) (and 129 for a second test) and restarted using `rcpowersaved restart`, but powersaved always sets 254. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

In the meantime, I found that there are more than one acoustic variable:
# grep PERF disk HD_ACOUSTIC_PERF="-M 129" HDPARM_ACOUSTIC_PERF="130" HDPARM_STBY_PERF="131" HDPARM_RAW_PERF="" HD_LAPTOP_MODE_PERF="" HD_DO_REMOUNTS_PERF=""
And after restarting powersaved, 130 is set according to `hdparm -M /dev/hdc`.
But hopefully only if neither kpowersave nor gnome-power-manager are running?
Is HD_ACOUSTIC_PERF a leftover from an earlier SUSE Linux?
it looks so: seife@strolchi:/etc/powersave> grep PERF disk HD_LAPTOP_MODE_PERF="" HD_DO_REMOUNTS_PERF="" HDPARM_ACOUSTIC_PERF="254" HDPARM_STBY_PERF="254" HDPARM_RAW_PERF="" Also, nothing is using this variable: seife@strolchi:/usr/lib/powersave> grep PERF . -r /scripts/set_disk_settings: N="$HDPARM_STBY_PERF" /scripts/set_disk_settings: RAW="$HDPARM_RAW_PERF" /scripts/set_disk_settings: REMOUNT="$HD_DO_REMOUNTS_PERF" /scripts/set_disk_settings: LAPTOP="${HD_LAPTOP_MODE_PERF:-no}" ;; /scripts/set_disk_settings: N="$HDPARM_ACOUSTIC_PERF" ;; (clean 10.2 installation). What is the comment to this HD_ACOUSTIC_PERF variable? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

They are from back when we had only /etc/sysconfig/powersave/common and /etc/sysconfig/powersave/hdparm. The question is, why weren't they removed by fillup... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
