Hm, I'm confused now. In comment 2 you said "So even the laptop is connected to mains power again, the hooks are run as being on battery only.", and in comment 8 it's correct now. What changed in between? So is this actually an issue, or is the remaining problem that it shuts down fast also when the hook is called on AC mode?
For AC mode I get hdparm -W 1 -S 0 -B 254 -M 0 /dev/sda and for powersave (battery) mode hdparm -W 0 -S 6 -B 1 -M 254 -F /dev/sda These actually work very well for me, but apparently not for you then. Can you confirm that running the first hdparm command through sudo still causes very short hard disk spindown times for you? -- [maverick] HD spins down all the time on AC https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/606706 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
