-Introduction
-------------
-
-Laptop mode is used to minimize the time that the hard disk needs to be spun up,
-to conserve battery power on laptops. It has been reported to cause significant
-power savings.

-Installation
-------------
-
-To use laptop mode, you don't need to set any kernel configuration options
-or anything. Simply install all the files included in this document, and
-laptop mode will automatically be started when you're on battery. For
-your convenience, a tarball containing an installer can be downloaded at:
-
-http://www.samwel.tk/laptop_mode/laptop_mode/
-
-To configure laptop mode, you need to edit the configuration file, which is
-located in /etc/default/laptop-mode on Debian-based systems, or in
-/etc/sysconfig/laptop-mode on other systems.
-
-Unfortunately, automatic enabling of laptop mode does not work for
-laptops that don't have ACPI. On those laptops, you need to start laptop
-mode manually. To start laptop mode, run "laptop_mode start", and to
-stop it, run "laptop_mode stop". (Note: The laptop mode tools package now
-has experimental support for APM, you might want to try that first.)
-
-
-Caveats
--------
-
-* The downside of laptop mode is that you have a chance of losing up to 10
-  minutes of work. If you cannot afford this, don't use it! The supplied ACPI
-  scripts automatically turn off laptop mode when the battery almost runs out,
-  so that you won't lose any data at the end of your battery life.
-
-* Most desktop hard drives have a very limited lifetime measured in spindown
-  cycles, typically about 50.000 times (it's usually listed on the spec sheet).
-  Check your drive's rating, and don't wear down your drive's lifetime if you
-  don't need to.
-
-* If you mount some of your ext3/reiserfs filesystems with the -n option, then
-  the control script will not be able to remount them correctly. You must set
-  DO_REMOUNTS=0 in the control script, otherwise it will remount them with the
-  wrong options -- or it will fail because it cannot write to /etc/mtab.
-
-* If you have your filesystems listed as type "auto" in fstab, like I did, then
-  the control script will not recognize them as filesystems that need remounting.
-  You must list the filesystems with their true type instead.
-
-* It has been reported that some versions of the mutt mail client use file access
-  times to determine whether a folder contains new mail. If you use mutt and
-  experience this, you must disable the noatime remounting by setting the option
-  DO_REMOUNT_NOATIME to 0 in the configuration file.
-
-
-The Details
------------
-
-Laptop mode is controlled by the knob /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode. This knob is
-present for all kernels that have the laptop mode patch, regardless of any
-configuration options. When the knob is set, any physical disk I/O (that might
-have caused the hard disk to spin up) causes Linux to flush all dirty blocks. The
-result of this is that after a disk has spun down, it will not be spun up
-anymore to write dirty blocks, because those blocks had already been written
-immediately after the most recent read operation. The value of the laptop_mode
-knob determines the time between the occurrence of disk I/O and when the flush
-is triggered. A sensible value for the knob is 5 seconds. Setting the knob to
-0 disables laptop mode.
-
-To increase the effectiveness of the laptop_mode strategy, the laptop_mode
-control script increases dirty_expire_centisecs and dirty_writeback_centisecs in
-/proc/sys/vm to about 10 minutes (by default), which means that pages that are
-dirtied are not forced to be written to disk as often. The control script also
-changes the dirty background ratio, so that background writeback of dirty pages
-is not done anymore. Combined with a higher commit value (also 10 minutes) for
-ext3 or ReiserFS filesystems (also done automatically by the control script),
-this results in concentration of disk activity in a small time interval which
-occurs only once every 10 minutes, or whenever the disk is forced to spin up by
-a cache miss. The disk can then be spun down in the periods of inactivity.
-
-If you want to find out which process caused the disk to spin up, you can
-gather information by setting the flag /proc/sys/vm/block_dump. When this flag
-is set, Linux reports all disk read and write operations that take place, and
-all block dirtyings done to files. This makes it possible to debug why a disk
-needs to spin up, and to increase battery life even more. The output of
-block_dump is written to the kernel output, and it can be retrieved using
-"dmesg". When you use block_dump and your kernel logging level also includes
-kernel debugging messages, you probably want to turn off klogd, otherwise
-the output of block_dump will be logged, causing disk activity that is not
-normally there.
-
-
-Configuration
--------------
-
-The laptop mode configuration file is located in /etc/default/laptop-mode on
-Debian-based systems, or in /etc/sysconfig/laptop-mode on other systems. It
-contains the following options:
-
-MAX_AGE:
-
-Maximum time, in seconds, of hard drive spindown time that you are
-comfortable with. Worst case, it's possible that you could lose this
-amount of work if your battery fails while you're in laptop mode.
-
-MINIMUM_BATTERY_MINUTES:
-
-Automatically disable laptop mode if the remaining number of minutes of
-battery power is less than this value. Default is 10 minutes.
-
-AC_HD/BATT_HD:
-
-The idle timeout that should be set on your hard drive when laptop mode
-is active (BATT_HD) and when it is not active (AC_HD). The defaults are
-20 seconds (value 4) for BATT_HD  and 2 hours (value 244) for AC_HD. The
-possible values are those listed in the manual page for "hdparm" for the
-"-S" option.
-
-HD:
-
-The devices for which the spindown timeout should be adjusted by laptop mode.
-Default is /dev/hda. If you specify multiple devices, separate them by a space.
-
-READAHEAD:
-
-Disk readahead, in 512-byte sectors, while laptop mode is active. A large
-readahead can prevent disk accesses for things like executable pages (which are
-loaded on demand while the application executes) and sequentially accessed data
-(MP3s).
-
-DO_REMOUNTS:
-
-The control script automatically remounts any mounted journaled filesystems
-with appropriate commit interval options. When this option is set to 0, this
-feature is disabled.
-
-DO_REMOUNT_NOATIME:
-
-When remounting, should the filesystems be remounted with the noatime option?
-Normally, this is set to "1" (enabled), but there may be programs that require
-access time recording.
-
-DIRTY_RATIO:
-
-The percentage of memory that is allowed to contain "dirty" or unsaved data
-before a writeback is forced, while laptop mode is active. Corresponds to
-the /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio sysctl.
-
-DIRTY_BACKGROUND_RATIO:
-
-The percentage of memory that is allowed to contain "dirty" or unsaved data
-after a forced writeback is done due to an exceeding of DIRTY_RATIO. Set
-this nice and low. This corresponds to the /proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_ratio
-sysctl.
-
-Note that the behaviour of dirty_background_ratio is quite different
-when laptop mode is active and when it isn't. When laptop mode is inactive,
-dirty_background_ratio is the threshold percentage at which background writeouts
-start taking place. When laptop mode is active, however, background writeouts
-are disabled, and the dirty_background_ratio only determines how much writeback
-is done when dirty_ratio is reached.
-
-DO_CPU:
-
-Enable CPU frequency scaling when in laptop mode. (Requires CPUFreq to be setup.
-See Documentation/cpu-freq/user-guide.txt for more info. Disabled by default.)
-
-CPU_MAXFREQ:
-
-When on battery, what is the maximum CPU speed that the system should use? Legal
-values are "slowest" for the slowest speed that your CPU is able to operate at,
-or a value listed in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies.
-
-
-Tips & Tricks
--------------
-
-* Bartek Kania reports getting up to 50 minutes of extra battery life (on top
-  of his regular 3 to 3.5 hours) using a spindown time of 5 seconds (BATT_HD=1).
-
-* You can spin down the disk while playing MP3, by setting disk readahead
-  to 8MB (READAHEAD=16384). Effectively, the disk will read a complete MP3 at
-  once, and will then spin down while the MP3 is playing. (Thanks to Bartek
-  Kania.)
-
-* Drew Scott Daniels observed: "I don't know why, but when I decrease the number
-  of colours that my display uses it consumes less battery power. I've seen
-  this on powerbooks too. I hope that this is a piece of information that
-  might be useful to the Laptop Mode patch or it's users."
-
-* In syslog.conf, you can prefix entries with a dash ``-'' to omit syncing the
-  file after every logging. When you're using laptop-mode and your disk doesn't
-  spin down, this is a likely culprit.
-
-* Richard Atterer observed that laptop mode does not work well with noflushd
-  (http://noflushd.sourceforge.net/), it seems that noflushd prevents laptop-mode
-  from doing its thing.
-
-* If you're worried about your data, you might want to consider using a USB
-  memory stick or something like that as a "working area". (Be aware though
-  that flash memory can only handle a limited number of writes, and overuse
-  may wear out your memory stick pretty quickly. Do _not_ use journalling
-  filesystems on flash memory sticks.)

-Configuration file for control and ACPI battery scripts
--------------------------------------------------------
-
-This allows the tunables to be changed for the scripts via an external
-configuration file
-
-It should be installed as /etc/default/laptop-mode on Debian, and as
-/etc/sysconfig/laptop-mode on Red Hat, SUSE, Mandrake, and other work-alikes.
