It looks like the patch works for me too. My second hard disk (Western Digital WD2000JD of 200Gb) was constantly spinning up and down since the upgrade to karmic. I had modified /etc/hdparm.conf so that this disk spins down automatically after a few minutes. It worked great with jaunty, with the hard disk spinninp up only when I wanted to access it. After the upgrade, it was periodically spinning up, even if I did not access to the hard disk at all. I found this bug and installed the PPA package.
Since then, the hard disk did not spin up periodically : it looks like it solved my problem. Thanks to all of you who worked on it. Will this patch be backported for karmic? -- Disk wakes up every 30 minutes and produces errors on dmesg https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/435190 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
