1-strictly utilise geany for every edits.

2-need strictly os to boot in "tlp bat" mode.

(got some hdd being unmounted for all hdd disks and "tlp" is in bat mode "sudo tlp bat" running. one hdd disk constantly power ons itself after 3-5min period and then shutting down indefinitely in circles, while others stay turned off.

hat could be a behaviour of S.M.A.R.T. enabled in bios which for some hdd model leaving it off and other hdd in some timeout triggers with through bios S.M.A.R.T.)










figure-out it in config which makes one hdd to power up/down through each 10 mins indefinitely:

# Notes:

# - Default <none>: do nothing or use kernel/hardware defaults
# - IMPORTANT: parameters must always be specified pairwise i.e. for

# Battery Care -- Charge thresholds
# Charging starts when the charger is connected and the charge level
# is below the start threshold. Charging stops when the charge level
# is above the stop threshold.
# Required hardware: Lenovo ThinkPads and select other laptop brands
# are driven via specific plugins
# - Active plugin and support status are shown by tlp-stat -b
# - Vendor specific threshold levels are shown by tlp-stat -b, some
#   laptops support only 1 (on)/ 0 (off) instead of a percentage level
# - When your hardware supports a start *and* a stop threshold, you must
#   specify both, otherwise TLP will refuse to apply the single threshold
# - When your hardware supports only a stop threshold, set the start
#   value to 0
# - Older ThinkPads may require an external kernel module, refer to the
