This may sacrifice some + performance due to increased latency when coming out of lower + power states. + + max_performance: Generally, this means no power management. + Tell the controller to have performance be a priority over power + management. + + medium_power: Tell the controller to enter a lower power state + when possible, but do not enter the lowest power state, thus + improving latency over min_power setting. + + med_power_with_dipm: Identical to the existing medium_power + setting except that it enables dipm (device initiated power + management) on top, which makes it match the Windows IRST (Intel + Rapid Storage Technology) driver settings. This setting is also + close to min_power, except that: + a) It does not use host-initiated slumber mode, but it does + allow device-initiated slumber + b) It does not enable low power device sleep mode (DevSlp). + +What: /sys/class/scsi_host/hostX/em_message +What: /sys/class/scsi_host/hostX/em_message_type +Date: Jun, 2008 +KernelVersion: v2.6.27 +Contact: linux-ide@vger.kernel.org +Description: + em_message: (RW) Enclosure management support.
