pm-utils (1.4.1-3) experimental; urgency=low
* debian/rules: Remove harddrive power hook, this causes excessive hard disk
spindown on a lot of machines. The hdparm package already ships a less
aggressive hook (with -B
I've been playing with the values of hdparm -B and hdparm -S for a while
now, but I haven't been able to achieve an acceptable frequency of
spindowns with any combination of settings. My WD2500BEVS and many
other hdds out there don't behave as they should, so I'm glad that a
safe choice has been
Could people please test setting DRIVE_POWER_MGMT_BAT to 127 by default?
That's the first value which actually does permit spindown. Please
change that with
sudo gedit /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/harddrive
(or your favourite editor) and set line 14 to
Curiously, my hard disk appears to only support four values, indicating
that it possibly ignores most bits of the value. Any value = 127 comes
back as 1.

setting Advanced Power Management level to disabled
APM_level = off
I discussed that with Michael Biebl. We already have a hook in the
hdparm package which sets it to 128, and if anything below causes too
much trouble, let's just disable that particular hook completely. That
brings us back to what we had in lucid, and is a safe choice at this
point.

I've fixed this bug for myself by modifying the value of the -B

I did this by editing /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/harddrive and changing

this bug is killing me,
everything crashes now ,because the harddrive take 20-30 second to start

I am on a daily build of Maverick, 20100916, and it still has this
issue. Every chance my computer gets to spin down the hard drive, it
does. Every 10 seconds or so, I hear the hard drive spin up. I have a
Sony VAIO VGN-NW270F. All this spinning up, puts a lot of extra wear and
tear on a drive. I

It definitely appears as though the Spin down hard disks when possible
on the On Battery Power tab of the power management applet is not
being respected. I have the option unchecked, and can observe the

Ok, as I sit here on my T42 Thinkpad running on battery and a fully up
to date version of Maverick Alpha 3 and listen to my hard drive spin up
and down so often it rarely actually FINISHES spinning DOWN before
spooling back UP, I'm going to chime in and say the settings are way,
way, WAY too
Today I booted up my laptop. It is currently running without a battery.
I notices the HD spin down and looked in the log. It had set the system
as running without AC - which is false since the battery was out of the
machine. When I plugged the battery in the system put itself in AC-mode.

I've marked bug 614876 as duplicate, where laptop mode gets detected
on a desktop system.
However, when it were a laptop system, it should not constantly spin
disks down and up so much (by default).

Two thing can be said.
1. In general the harddisk spins down to often in powersave-mode.
2. The log contains logging of the call to /usr/*/*/ /harddisk
The call fails but that is because of some stuff that can not be set.
Turning off powersave works in the case.
The case a couple of day

upower was not installed on my system (kubuntu), but it does not report
that the system is on battery.
The output of sh -ex /usr/bin/on_ac_power is:
