Package: hdparm

Severity: normal

Hello,

My current hdparm configuration looks something like this

/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_xxxx {
  spindown_time = 60s
}
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_yyyy {
  spindown_time = 60s
}

I'm using udev symlinks because those are one of several disks attached to my 
computer and I do reatach them from time to time.

It was a surprise when I found out in /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/95hdparm-apm 
this:

resume_hdparm_spindown()                                                        
                                                                                
                                                                                
                                      
{                                                                               
                                                                                
                                                                                
                                 
        for dev in /dev/sd? /dev/hd? ; do 

So naturaly, when I wake up my computer every morning I have to manualy run the 
hdparms init script to spin them down.

>From my point of view, the resume/power script should do the same thing as 
>init 
script -- configure every device listed in hdparm.conf, or just invoke the init 
script (for example anacron does that).

What's your opinion on this?

Michael
