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"
