iMok Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Hello,Thank to all devs the progress made on SyncApp.After some weeks playing with SyncApp, I found some roles where the SyncApp share could avoid most of disk i/o thus allowing disk to stay in standby mode, improving power savings a lot. This ideally would be a per share setting, or a global setting that could be overridden per shareComes to my mind a NAS instance of SyncApp that performs as a central mirror that runs 24h. No changes are made locally so we could avoid all i/o related to filechange checking, we'll have an option to manually trigger a filecheck when needed. This will let the disk enter in standby mode most of the time.A SyncApp share not being actively modified on the current machine could be set to this setting thus letting longer disk standby periods, improving battery life in a notebook.Allowing the user to set the "Check for filechanges every X s":- 0 to disable- Default- Long periods (3600s)What do you think?

kos13 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Seems that we should add such option, it could make sense, especially if data is not changed often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
