Can confirm these very frequent (~10 seconds) spinups as well. Setting "apm_battery = 128" in /etc/hdparm.conf as a workaround works very fine.
This is a Samsung 300E laptop with a SAMSUNG HM641JI harddisk. Attaching the output of hdparm -I /dev/sda (with apm_battery=128 set) if that helps. Anything else I can provide to help? ** Attachment added: ""hdparm -I" output" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hdparm/+bug/952556/+attachment/3103196/+files/hdparminfo.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/952556 Title: [Precise] [Hardware-killer] HD restarts every few seconds To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hdparm/+bug/952556/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
