4.9.4. OPT_HDSLEEP – Setting Automatic Sleep Mode For Harddisks
A harddisk can power down after a certain time period without activity. The disk will save
power and operate quiet then. Accessing the harddisk will cause it to automatically spin up
again.
Not all harddisks tolerate frequent spinup. Don’t set the time for spindown too
short. Older IDE-disks don’t even have this function. This setting is also senseless
for Flash-Media.
HDSLEEP_TIMEOUT The variable specifies after what time period without access the disk
should power down. It will power down after that time period and come up again with
the next access. Sleep timeouts can be specified in minutes from one to 20 and in periods
of 30 minutes from half an hour up to 5 hours. A sleep timeout of 21 or 25 minutes will
be rounded to 30 minutes. Some harddisks ignore values too high and stop after some
minutes then. Please test the settings thoroughly because proper functioning depends
on the hardware used!
HDSLEEP_TIMEOUT='2' # wait 2 minutes until power down
4.9.5. OPT_RECOVER – Emergency Option
This variable determines if functions for creating an emergency option will be available. If
activated the option copies the command “mkrecover.sh” to the router. By executing it you
can activate the emergency option at the console. With package “HTTPD” installed the action
of copying an existing installation to an emergency instance can be achieved conveniantly in
the menu “recover”.
To use the recovery installation choose “r” for recovery in the boot menu at the next reboot.
OPT_RECOVER='yes'
4.9.6. OPT_HDDRV - Additional Drivers For Harddisk Controllers
By setting OPT_HDDRV=’yes’ you may activate drivers additionally needed. Generally this is
NOT needed for IDE und SATA, package ’Base’ will load all necessary files.
HDDRV_N Set the number of drivers to be loaded.
HDDRV_x HDDRV_1 a.s.o. Set drivers to be chosen for the host-adapters in use. A list of all
supported adapters is provided with the initial config file for package hd.
