I have upgraded to 12.04LTS server and that does not respect
/etc/hdparm.conf either.

My hdparm.conf file looks like this:
------------------------------------------------------
bob@server01:~$ cat /etc/hdparm.conf
/dev/sda{
        spindown_time = 30
        write_cache = off
        sleep
        }
/dev/sdb{
        spindown_time = 30
        write_cache = off
        sleep
        }
/dev/sdc{
        spindown_time = 30
        write_cache = off
        sleep
        }
/dev/sdd{
        spindown_time = 30
        write_cache = off
        sleep
        }

------------------------------

After a reboot my disks are active.

If I issue 
sudo hdparm -Y /dev/sd{a..d}  
then they go into standby.


Is there a log file that can confirm hdparm is being accessed at all?
