I have the same problem. For me the cause is the hard drive (Western Digital Scorpio Blue 500GB) which seems to have only 2 modes: either it doesn't spin down at all, or it spins down after 5 seconds. I have tried various parameters with hdparm, and -B is the only thing that matters.
I wish it was easier to disable spin-down, that's all. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/965984 Title: hdparm keeps to spin down disk very often.
