Ciso, On battery the default value is still hdparm -B 128, which does allow the drive to park the heads. This upload only changes the default policy when running on AC.
For some drives, it's possible that the -B 128 battery policy is different than the firmware default and as a result the drive has a longer idle time between parking; this will not be true /generally/, and is a largely harmless side effect of the change rather than a deliberate bugfix. -- 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
