hdapsd - park the drive in case of an emergency
hdapsd [-f|-r|-c <cfgfile>|-d
<device>|-s
<sensitivity>|-a|-v|-b|-p|-t|-y|-H|-S|-L|-l|-V|-h]
- -c
--cfgfile=<cfgfile>
- Load configuration from <cfgfile>. Only available if hdapsd was
compiled with libconfig support.
- -d
--device=<device>
- <device> is likely to be hda or sda. Can be given multiple times to
protect multiple devices.
- -f --force
- Force unloading heads, even if kernel thinks different (on pre ATA7
drives). This only works when adding devices by hand (-d).
- -r
--force-rotational
- Autodetect drives as rotational, even if kernel thinks they are not.
- -s
--sensitivity=<sensitivity>
- How sensitive hdapsd should be to movements. Defaults to 15, higher values
mean less sensitive.
- -a --adaptive
- Adaptive threshold (automatic increase when the built-in keyboard/mouse
are used).
- -v --verbose
- Get verbose statistics.
- -b
--background
- Run the process in the background.
- -p
--pidfile[=<pidfile>]
- Create a pid file when running in background. If <pidfile> is not
specified, it's set to /var/run/hdapsd.pid.
- -t --dry-run
- Don't actually park the drive.
- -y
--poll-sysfs
- Force use of sysfs interface to accelerometer.
- -H
--hardware-logic
- Uses the hardware fall detection logic instead of the software one.
Options --sensitivity and --adaptive have no effect in this mode.
- -S
--software-logic
- Uses the software fall detection logic even if the hardware one is
available.
- -L --no-leds
- Don't blink the LEDs when a shock is detected.
- -l --syslog
- Log to syslog instead of stdout/stderr.
- -V --version
- Display version information and exit.
- -h --help
- Display help and exit.
You can send SIGUSR1 to deactivate hdapsd for 8 seconds.
