-n option is not set by default #55

Open lelutin opened 8 years ago

lelutin commented 8 years ago

smartd.conf option "-n" makes smartd avoid spinning up disks in some inactive states. if unused, smartd might cause disk spin-ups when polling them.

it's possible to activate this option with default_options, but it would be a better default if the module would activate "-n standby" by default.

I'd rather the default be to check all disks. Would you like to add a blurb to the README?

hmm I could add a comment in the section for the default_options section, but there are other values for this parameter that could be detailed there too..

maybe just a mention that the default value of default_options means that disks will be spun up even though they are in sleep or standby modes and show an example of a value to avoid that. would that be ok? if you think so, I can make it into a pull request.
