disk query is too aggressive in win10
Posted: 2017.10.19. 01:24
Hello, long story short: when disks are asleep, sentinel wakes them during regular status check
at the same time, polling disks with smartctl.exe -i -n sleep /dev/sdX detect their sleep state without waking them.
so it would be super great to somehow make your program to query disks as delicate as smartctl does
a bit longer:
i have a z77 chipset system - standard controller, integrated asmedia controller and some sil 3132 cards
dual boot, win 7 & more or less fresh clean win 10 install
sil 3132 driver work perfectly in both systems guarding attached hdd's from waking, no worries here
driver versions
win 7
ASMEDIA : Standard AHCI 1.0 driver
7 Series / C216 integrated, AHCI mode: 9.3.0.1011
Sil 3132: 1.0.15.6
sentinel here works just fine, sleeping state at all controllers is detected correctly
win 10
ASMEDIA : Standard AHCI 10.0.14393.953 driver
7 Series / C216 integrated, AHCI mode: Standard AHCI 10.0.14393.953 driver
Sil 3132: 1.0.15.3
as i said earlier, sleep at 3132 attached drives is being detected fine
and with ASM/Intel, Sentinel wakes them every poll. i tried to play with driver versions, like 9.3.0.1020 and such, no luck here
Thanks!
