Well, -B is for Advanced Power Management, which your drive may or may not support. If it doesn't, -B is just ignored I guess. The -S spindown setting is independent, so if you set it to 12 you get spindown.
/etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf contains a block starting with this: # Should laptop mode tools control the hard drive idle timeout settings? # CONTROL_HD_IDLE_TIMEOUT=1 In the following settings, LM_AC_HD_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS=60 gets translated into -S 12. You should change this if you don't want your drive to spin down. Although you see a different behaviour in Hardy, I am not sure this is a bug, since it is consistent with the man page as I understand it. -- harddrive spins down when it shouldn't in laptop-mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286846 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
