Daemon to prevent hard disk head parking in rotational media. The daemon
|
|
will issue small read requests periodically to a random location on disk
|
|
in an effort to reset the inactivity timer in the hardware and so prevent
|
|
the dreaded head unloading. As such, its operation is non-destructive and
|
|
interoperable across different brands of hard drives.
