For me best solution in Hardy was: Put:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12024037/90-hdparm.sh In: /home/[User_name] And next: sudo install 90-hdparm.sh /etc/acpi/resume.d/ sudo install 90-hdparm.sh /etc/acpi/start.d/ sudo install 90-hdparm.sh /etc/acpi/ac.d/ sudo install 90-hdparm.sh /etc/acpi/battery.d/ It was only way to hold load/unload hard drive cycles. Any other methods discribed in: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerManagement Failed. But in Ubuntu 8.10 there are no good method for me to stop load/unload hard drive cycles when I switch off AC cable and work my MSI VR610 Laptop on Battery. In the same configuration I had under Ubuntu 8.04 with no load cycles except TurnOff... Now under Ubuntu 8.10 I have 6 load cycles per minute! It's too much in my opinion. Please describe good method to slow down cycles under Ubuntu 8.10! 2008/11/2 Botond Szász <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > I agree with erythrocyte, a clear official statement need to be made on > this subject.
