NAME¶

storage-fixup - a script which applies a workaround to buggy ata devices

SYNOPSIS¶

storage-fixup [-h] [-V] [-q] [-v] [-b] [-c config_file] [-m max_devs]

DESCRIPTION¶

Script to issue fix up commands for weird disks. This is primarily to adjust ATA APM setting. Some laptop BIOSen set this value too aggressively causing frequent head unloads which can kill the drive quickly. This script should be called during boot and resume. It examines rules from /etc/storage-fixup.conf and executes matching commands.

OPTIONS¶

Print help message and exit

-V

Print version and exit

-q

Quiet mode

-v

-d

-c config_file

-m max_devs
