Summary : Daemon to prevent hard disk head parking in rotational media
Description :
Modern rotational hard disks have a misfeature involving the regular
automatic unloading of the heads, measurable by the SMART attribute
"Load_Cycle_Count", that causes latency on wake-up, and while the
manufacturers sell this as "green", it is believed to cause reduced
hard disk life.
The parkverbot daemon will periodically issue small read requests in
order to keep the hardware from going to its head-unloaded idle
state.
