Its not considered experimental and it shouldn't be doing that. What it does is make the journal and disk cache flush to disk every 10 minutes instead of 30 seconds so that the disk could spin down. The script also the disk to spin down after 20 seconds using hdparm. It shouldn't be the problem, but try disabling laptop mode before you shut down (it may be that its not flushing the journal properly at shut down but I don't think so). If that is the problem then it should be fixed. You aren't using swsusp by any chance? (I don't think they play well together. If you are, disable laptop mode before you suspend). > (PS Sorry if replies aren't formatted correctly but I'm using > groups.google.com because debian-laptop mail is no longer coming to my inbox > even though I'm subscribed). > > _______________________________________________ > Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com > The most personalized portal on the Web! > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
