How To Stop Growth Of Load_Cycle_Count On FreeBSD
I came across this topic today that explains how to stop the drives getting powered on and off in laptops:
- Install
sysutils/ataidle
. - Disable power management on the drive:
ataidle -P 0 /dev/adaX
. - Add to
/etc/rc.conf
:
ataidle_enable="YES" ataidle_devices="adaX" ataidle_adaX="-P 0"
