I'd like F11 to be more useful for disk power management.
Cool!
The first is relatime. I've just pushed Ingo's smarter
relatime code
towards upstream again.
Go for it!
Thirdly, I'd like to enable laptop mode by default.
Are we talking of writing "5" into /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode like for
desktops, servers, and laptops on mains power?
IIRC gnome-power-manager automatically enables this when the system goes
to run from battery, so I recon the idea is to make the laptop mode a
generic power-conservative mode, then should that be reflected in the
mainline kernel somehow by renaming said interface to ecosystem_mode or
something.
Is this really good for datacenter machines like database servers and
such, if we make it default?
Any thoughts?
Great initiative!
You're mainly planning for kernel-level features for the whole line of
use cases and not at the level of userland tools like
gnome-power-manager that we currently rely on quite extensively to
manage power for desktops and laptops?
