Package: laptop-mode-tools
Version: 1.08-1
Severity: normal

I just upgraded my laptop-mode-tools in unstable, and noticed my hard
disk was spinning down even on AC power.  It never did this with older
laptop-mode-tools.  (I made only one modification to the shipped config,
changing LM_BATT_HD_IDLE_TIMEOUT to 12.)  I notice in the config
NOLM_AC_HD_POWERMGMT=1, which sets hdparm -B 1 when leaving laptop mode.
I think this must be a mistake--shouldn't it be 255, like
LM_AC_HD_POWERMGMT?

Note I can't reproduce the spin-down on AC problem at the moment (even
though I'm positive it was happening before), so I can't test for sure
that changing LM_AC_HD_POWERMGMT will stop it.  I'm going to continue
monitoring to see if I can get some hard data.
