Managing the AMASS File System

The idle eject drivestat -esecs drivenumber command will override the global IDLETIME setting on a per drive basis.

Note

If the global IDLETIME parameter has been set to a non-zero value, although you can physically reset the idle eject value to zero with the drivestat command, the feature will not be disabled.

The following figure illustrates how both the global IDLETIME parameter and the per drive drivestat command option affects your drives:

Per Drive drivestat -e sec drive# Command

The drivestat command configured any time during AMASS operation affects behavior on a specified drive.

The IDLETIME parameter configured during AMASS installation affects all drives.

To disable the idle eject feature for all your drives, both the global IDLETIME parameter and the per drive drivestat command must be set to zero. The following table summarizes the correlation between the global and per drive values:
