Itried the workaround of Martijn (which I found on another page). It didn't work for me. I made a file hdd-shutdown-workaround in /etc/init.d with the following two lines:
#!/bin/sh echo 1 > /sys/class/scsi_device/0\:0\:0\:0/stop_on_shutdown (only had to change "scsi_disk" for "scsi_device") then sudo chmod +x filename sudo ln -s /etc/rc0.d/S99hdd-shutdown-workaround /etc/init.d/hdd-shutdown-workaround I guessed this didn't work because "S99" meant it was called after S90halt so the computer was shutdown before. so I changed it to "S00hdd- shutdown-workaround" (like Martin wrote) but still nothing changed. I had no noise in Dapper, then noise in Edgy with kernel 2.6.17 but not with kernel 2.6.15, and still the noise in Feisty with kernel 2.6.20. I don't have this file (or directory?) /sys/module/sd_mod/parameters/stop_on_shutdown_default nor /sys/class/scsi_disk/0\:0\:0\:0/stop_on_shutdown . only /sys/class/scsi_device/0\:0\:0\:0/ am I missing something? -- The SATA disk doesn't power off while shutdown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/63937 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
