How to setup hard drive shock protection with applesmc?
Hi,
I've read that the applesmc module allows to read the motion sensors in intel macbooks. I've checked with lsmod and the module is loaded in my machine.
How do I make sure that shock protection is enabled? AFAIK, there should be a daemon running that reads the sensor data (using the files exposed by spplesmc). Which daemon would that be?
Thanks.

I would hope that something like this is handled in the hard drive firmware, not at the level of the OS. It could well be that you can read the sensor data at the OS level as well (sounds like it), but are you sure the OS needs to do anything when there's a spike?

No, I'm not really sure. I'm assuming that's something that the OS needs to take care of since there are posts and articles that talk about how to set it up (All the ones I've found are for the IBM thinkpads)
