** Summary changed: - harddrive spins down when it shouldn't in laptop-mode + harddrive spins down when man page says setting does not permit it
** Description changed: Binary package hint: laptop-mode-tools I'm beta testing Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex with kernel version 2.6.27-7. - In laptop-mode.conf, the hdparm -B value is set to 128 therefore the - harddrive should apply power regulation without spinning down the - harddrive, which it has done in the past until recent Ibex upgrades. - This could be a bug in the kernel not interfacing with the harddrive - correctly since hdparm -I /etc/sda1 indicates that hdparm -B is indeed - set to 128 (and not 0 through 127, which would elicit spindown). + In laptop-mode.conf, the hdparm -B value is set to 128 therefore + [according to man page] the harddrive should apply power regulation + without spinning down the harddrive + + hdparm -I /etc/sda1 indicates that hdparm -B is indeed set to 128 (and + not 0 through 127, which would elicit spindown). It will still spin down + because of -S. The man page should be clearer about this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286846 Title: harddrive spins down when man page says setting does not permit it -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
