This bug is *still* in precise pangolin - and the fix worked a charm. In
chasing this one down it looks like it's been around *AND FIXED* since
April 2008 but the fix has never been carried forward.
Other bugs list very similar fixes:
222458
227705
What is the process by which a fix such as this can be moved into the
official code base?
For others following:
This fix allows me to set a USB hard drive to spindown using
hdparm.conf, with out needing to know what /dev/sdX it will end up
coming under. I used a combination of the Disk Utility and ls -1
/dev/disk/by-id/* to find the devices manufacturer unique id
Then added:
/dev/disk/by-id/<your specific disk identifier here> {
spindown = 241
}
to my hdparm.conf and it works fine under ubuntu 12.04 beta with this
patch - no matter what order I plug in usb storage.

/etc/hdparm.conf works only for /dev/sdX and not for their symlinks
