Minimizing disk access when idle
From MLDonkey
Contents |
Problem description
There are situations where MLdonkey installed on a server or network storage (NAS), routers, or the like devices / computers.
And is used quite rarely, on a case by case as required. Problem is that these devices when inactive disk access, disk goes into sleep mode, thus reducing noise, energy consumption and resource HDD.
MLdonkey default is not configured for such use and did not even shaking it will turn to drive. Below are the options, setting which can help you improve the situation.
Description of options for setting
- ED2K-remove_old_servers_delay - delay before removing the old server from the list
- backup_options_delay - delay between the backup settings
- save_options_delay - delay before writing options to disk (from memory)
- share_scan_interval - interval between the next reshare files
- web_infos - for various purposes, MLdonkey need information from the Web, the new version when load is written to disk, the interval of loading the new version - customizable
- Log file - a record of the status and operation MLdonkey
Example of setting a minimum disk accesses
- ED2K-remove_old_servers_delay - set to 0, the server removes itself manually
- backup_options_delay - Set to 0. Settings save yourself manually.
- save_options_delay - Set to 0, the settings are stored independently at the right end of the work core
- share_scan_interval - Set to 0. Reshare files manually
- web_infos - Interval downloading information from the Web need to set 0, then the information will only be loaded when booting the kernel MLdonkey
- The log should be redirected to the "zero" (in * nix systems, / dev / null) or to a virtual disk in memory if you use MLdonkey in Windows.
