nvpmodel default mode

Either I don’t understand how that parameter is supposed to work, or it simply has no effect.

Example:

  1. fresh power cycle
  2. sudo nvpmodel -q. Shows mode 2.
  3. sudo nvpmodel -m 3. Updates mode to 3.
  4. tail /etc/nvpmodel.conf. Shows default is 2.
  5. reboot
  6. sudo nvpmodel -q. Shows mode 3.
  7. tail /etc/nvpmodel.conf. Shows default is 2. If this defines mode 2, then why do I see mode 3 in the previous step?

The fact that the “nvpmodel -m 3” operation persists over power cycles tells me that the actual setting is stored somewhere else. Otherwise, /etc/nvpmodel.conf should have set the mode to 2, shouldn’t it?
