Have you tried to enable it in hdparm.conf? apm = 255 also look at the B parameter of the disks with hdparm. manpage: -B Get/set Advanced Power Management feature, if the drive supports it. A low value means aggressive power management and a high value means better performance. Possible settings range from values 1 through 127 (which permit spin-down), and values 128 through 254 (which do not permit spin- down). The highest degree of power management is attained with a setting of 1, and the highest I/O performance with a setting of 254. A value of 255 tells hdparm to disable Advanced Power Management altogether on the drive (not all drives support disabling it, but most do). Due to this bug I have moved my server to debian 6, and all over sudden I found the value of B needed to be set to 128 to get spin down to work correctly, although the manpages say above 127 does not allow spindown. If set to 127 my disks spindown but spinup instantly, and with B set to 128 all is working fine in debian, so it might help in Ubuntu too? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/595138 Title: Settings in /etc/hdparm.conf are not applied during boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hdparm/+bug/595138/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

can only agree with above posters. My workaround was to revert back to 9.10. Still I agree it would be nice if this gets sorted properly.

@ steve: What about the issue seen with spinning down disks also declared in /etc/hdparm.conf, they're not classed in the command_line section, but I cannot seem to spin down my disks when idle the way it is running with ubuntu server 9.10, when I upgraded it to lucid, and when that not worked installing lucid from scratch.

That's a nice workaround Maxim. I have reverted my server back to 9.10 as I wanted it to be working the way it was supposed to be.

[Bug 568120] Re: [Lucid] hdparm.conf change doesn't have effect
I've also tried the laptop mode tools. Somehow this seemed to spindown the disks while MD had not flushed its writes to the disks, or it did something else so I ended up with 4 disks and no array. After some crash recovery I managed to get a degraded array back with 3 out of the 4 disks. I got the 4th disk added to the array, and after some hours array was rebuild. It kinda takes the fun out of testing with live data on the disks. There's a bit over 1 Tbyte of data on the array, and backup / restoring is kinda time consuming. @pjotr12345, I did not get my disks to spindown from commandline with hdparm -Y /dev/sd[a-d]. I did see issueing sleep command for all four disks, but straight after a hdparm -C /dev/sd[a-d] all disks show idle/running instead of standby. -- [Lucid] hdparm.conf change doesn't have effect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/568120 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 568120] Re: [Lucid] hdparm.conf change doesn't have effect
No harddisk spindown anymore in 10.04 I have build my own nas box around an atom board, and in it I have 4 1.5 Tbyte disks. When I build it I had low power in mind, so the operating system sits on a 2.5 disk that runs 24/7, and the disks that hold the array spin down when not needed. Two days ago I updated this 9.10 server to 10.04, and discovered I could not spin down the array disks anymore. As stated before, it seemed hdparm.conf was ignored. If however I did hdparm -S 240 /dev/sd[a-d] it issued standby commands to all disks, but instantly the disks seemed to spin up again. In fact, it looked like even this command seemed to do nothing at all. I then scrapped the whole thing and did a fresh install of 10.04 amd64, and again the disks would not spin down. Somewhere in the process my os disk failed as well, so in the end I put a new 2.5 disk in and installed 9.10 server again. Disks are nicely spun down again and all is like it should. Tinkering with laptop-mode-tools did not help either, it resulted in a failed array. I had enough downtime here and will keep the box running 9.10 for a while. Since this box does dhcp / dns and some other stuff that is needed on a daily basis, I cannot test anything as more people depend on functionality on the box. I have no idea whether this is caused by hdparm or something else. -- [Lucid] hdparm.conf change doesn't have effect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/568120 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@pjotr12345, just clicked on the button, thanks for the tip. It looks like it is hdparm, as all I did at first was an update of 9.10. All software running on the server was updated nicely and no extra services have been added in the proces. It could also be driver related that the sata drivers do not honor the requests hdparm makes. Either way, it is a bit of a bummer really. -- [Lucid] hdparm.conf change doesn't have effect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/568120 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
