Parameters

  • /V - Verbose, display additional information (this switch is always enabled in the unregistered version)
  • /DEBUG - Debugging display
  • /DEBUG:1 - Debugging display and start/stop all devices once when driver is loading
  • /UT:(a1,u1,min1),(a2,u2,min2) - List of disks with special timeout needs. You may exclude the 'min' value (or set it to zero), in this case the default (possible changed via '/T:') is used.
  • /!UT:(a1,u1),(a2,u2) - List of disks to exclude from sleeping. They are added to internal tables, but never stopped. Use IOCtl to enable sleeping these disks.
  • /T:<min> - Set sleeping time to <min> minutes. Default: 30 minutes. Remember that starting a disk drive means stress for its mechanical parts, and do not set this time to low. Maximum time to set via '/T:<min>' is 1092 minutes (about 18 hours).
