For me for some reason /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode is always zero even if laptop mode tools is enabled. -- High frequency of load/unload cycles on some hard disks may shorten lifetime https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/59695 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

bojo42 says: @angel chen: i can confirm that on intrepid with all updates applied, the four 90-hdparm.sh scripts never come to hdparm, cause $DO_HDPARM is always set to n. just like you said, it really needs to be changed otherwise the scripts won't fix load cycling on ac. but as your change will finally result in $DO_HDPARM=y on my side, it also does the same when running the script from battery.d. and AFAIK laptop mode should be enabled on battery and therefore $DO_HDPARM should be n. the same should be the case with the script in start.d, when you booting your laptop on battery. am i right? Yes, we do need to update all files. Also how come the file /etc/init.d/laptop-mode says # FIXME: this shouldn't be configured there if [ -f /etc/default/acpi-support ]; then . /etc/default/acpi-support; fi if [ x$ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE = xfalse ]; then exit 0; fi which causes the laptop mode tools script won't be able to execute at all if ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE is set to false. -- High frequency of load/unload cycles on some hard disks may shorten lifetime https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/59695 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

Just change the line “if [ -e /usr/sbin/laptop_mode ] ; then” in 90-hdparm.sh to “if [ -e /var/run/laptop-mode-tools/enabled ] ; then” because that script is checking if /usr/sbin/laptop_mode exists rather than if laptop mode tools is enabled. Once laptop-mode-tools is installed, the file /usr/sbin/laptop_mode is always there whether it is enabled or not. ** Attachment added: 90-hdparm.diff http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19442410/90-hdparm.diff -- High frequency of load/unload cycles on some hard disks may shorten lifetime https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/59695 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 59695] Re: High frequency of load/unload cycles on some hard disks may shorten lifetime
How come in the file DO_HDPARM=y if [ -e /usr/sbin/laptop_mode ] ; then it checks if the file /usr/sbin/laptop_mode exists rather than laptop mode is enabled? the file /usr/sbin/laptop_mode is always there even if laptop mode tool is not enabled. There is supposed to be other way to heck if laptop mode is enabled instead. Anyways why does ubuntu still use ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE to control laptop mode, debian has removed it long time before already and they never had any problem with it. I'm also confused about the lines before ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE in acpi_support: # Switch to laptop-mode on battery power - off by default as it causes odd # hangs on some machines. (Note: This is reported to cause breakage in # Debian - see deb bug #425800. Leaving enabled for Ubuntu for now # since presumably it's still valid here.) -- High frequency of load/unload cycles on some hard disks may shorten lifetime https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/59695 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
