|
|||
occurs only once every 10 minutes, or whenever the disk is forced to spin up by
|
||||
a cache miss. The disk can then be spun down in the periods of inactivity.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to find out which process caused the disk to spin up, you can
|
||||
gather information by setting the flag /proc/sys/vm/block_dump. When this flag
|
||||
is set, Linux reports all disk read and write operations that take place, and
|
||||
all block dirtyings done to files. This makes it possible to debug why a disk
|
||||
needs to spin up, and to increase battery life even more. The output of
|
||||
block_dump is written to the kernel output, and it can be retrieved using
|
||||
"dmesg". When you use block_dump and your kernel logging level also includes
|
||||
kernel debugging messages, you probably want to turn off klogd, otherwise
|
||||
the output of block_dump will be logged, causing disk activity that is not
|
||||
normally there.

==========

block_dump enables block I/O debugging when set to a nonzero value. More
