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?
