Maybe this depends more on the hard disk than the actual laptop/system? I unplugged the power, then while doing nothing listened for the disk's powerdown. It happened after about 15 seconds, which I think shouldn't happen given the default values (-B is at 127, -S at 36, which would mean 3 minutes before spindown).
I have Precise with hdparm 9.37-0ubuntu3. The system is a Samsung QX410, the hard disk is reported by hdparm as a "SAMSUNG HM641JI". -- 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
