All releases of noflushd


Release Notes: This release adds support for the 2.6 Linux kernel series. Configuration in standard setups such as laptops is now easier due to changes in the default behaviour. Several bugfixes and documentation updates have been applied.


Release Notes: An option was added to prevent spindown when a machine is being used interactively. A workaround was added to avoid an error condition where disks would spin up again right after spindown. The documentation has been updated to document noflushd's interference with _any_ journaling filesystem.


Release Notes: This release ensures that hotplugged disks get synced properly, and only syncs present partitions. The high CPU usage bug on devfs systems has been fixed. A generic startup script works on the latest 2.4 kernels.


Release Notes: Handling of timeout lists was fixed. The installation location of the init script was corrected. Verbose spindown messages were re-introduced. The name change of kupdate to kupdated in kernel versions 2.4.2-ac15 and 2.4.3pre3 is now honored.


Release Notes: This release supports the latest 2.4 kernels (but will no longer work on kernels 2.3.99pre8 to 2.4.0-test8!), improves error reporting, and fixes polling intervals in multi-disk mode.


Release Notes: This release fixes a stupid bug that prevented disks from actually spinning down.


Release Notes: Syncing disks prior to spindown, inclusion of automake-generated files in the build tree to fix Debian source builds, and saner logic to detemine directory of device nodes to fix devfs incompatibilities.


Release Notes: A major code reorganisation was done, and support for multi-disk setups was improved.


Release Notes: This release fixes a bug in the previous version that left noflushd non-working with kernels prior to 2.3.99pre8.


Release Notes: This version works correctly with kernel 2.3.99pre8 and later, as well as with devfs. Support for LVM, raid partitions, libc5, and old hard disks has been added as well as updated documentation.
