Package: noflushd Version: 2.7.5-2
I quote from the man page: -v ... Log information about events such as disk spinup to syslog. ... Unfortunately, for the typical use of noflushd (laptop-like machine that spins down its only disk), the implementation of -v is suboptimal, since disk spindown is definitely not an "event such as disk spinup" --- not in the context of a daemon that tries to spin down the disk. In other words, while logging on disk spinup is desirable (to find out the number and pattern of disk spinup from the log files), logging the spindown is highly undesirable since it triggers disk activity ... As this is a daemon very specifically designed to switch off the disk, it should have an option that defers logging of the spindown to the time of spinup, so that one gets a log like this: <time-now> noflushd: disk spinup after spindown at <time-old> Otherwise, -v cannot be sensibly used.
