Hello...

I'm using Energy Saver payload with following settings :




But, in the same time, I try to disable disksleep setting with this command line :
sudo pmset -a disksleep 0

The setting works well. When I type "pmset -g", I can see disksleep with 0 value.
But when the computer restart, disksleep value back to 180.

If I delete Energy Saver payload, the disksleep value I put does not change anymore.

I've try multiple settings with Energy Saver payload but without success.
I try disable all Display(s) sleep on each Energy Saver payload tabs, without success.

When I use Energy Saver payload, I can't disable disksleep setting.

Please, can you help me.

Thanks

    try modifying the plist itself and see how that works for you, deploy it with a script, etc

    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist

    Thanks for your answer.

    Sadly, it's not working.

    I deploy the plist and when I restart the computer it's ok.....but....a few second after, disksleep back to 180.

    I will try to delete the Energy Saver payload and deploy the following files :

    com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
    com.apple.AutoWake.plist

    I don't know if it's a clean method but I don't have choice.

    If you have a solution.....

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    have you considered creating a launch daemon that rewrites the powermanagement plist to your custom settings? this way upon reboot you may be able to avoid it defaulting.

    Not a lot of experience with the powersaving configs & settings so my knowledge is limited but i hope I've helped!

    Thank you for your help.

    I will try.

    I need disable disksleep because I have issues with some iMac models (5k / SSD). They won't wake from sleep.
    I have to force shutdown by holding power button in and then reboot.

    it seems that the problem disappears with disksleep disabled (I hope so....).

    Thanks again.
